Gommyr Power Networks - expert business, economic and financial advisory for renewable microgrids and distributed renewable energy projects and investments
At Gommyr, we are passionate about sustainable microgrids and distributed renewable energy generation – power supply options that offer localized energy generation primarily based on renewable energy sources. We believe that localized renewable generation has an important and unique role in addressing issues at the intersection of climate change, economic growth and development. Localized renewable generation can empower users, both commercial/industrial and residential, and cost-effectively provide more reliable and cleaner power.
Many of the technical barriers for implementing and deploying renewable microgrids and distributed generation have been solved and are cost-effective:
The main barriers to wide-spread sustainable micro-grids deployment is obtaining financing based on sustainable business models for each project. Financing for projects is critical as much of the costs are upfront costs for the equipment and construction - securing the required funds to implement projects can be a daunting and difficult process where many otherwise viable projects are delayed or cancelled.
Gommyr offers unique expertise and insight into the financial, strategic and economic issues in the sector of sustainable microgrids and renewable distributed generation. We are focused on supporting our partners in order to execute their projects. This includes evaluating the underlying economics of projects, developing sustainable business models and identifying and securing financing for projects.
Many of the technical barriers for implementing and deploying renewable microgrids and distributed generation have been solved and are cost-effective:
- renewable sources of generation such as photovoltaic, wind turbines, and small hydro turbines are mature technologies that are typically lower cost than diesel alternatives
- energy storage technology such as batteries are now safe to deploy for power projects and costs are rapidly decreasing allowing for more reliable and flexible power
- the control and monitoring equipment and software is effective for rapid identification and response to issues and allows remote monitoring of projects
