Scalable IT Architecture for Renewable and Distributed Energy Financing Platforms: Strategies for Long-Term Success

​For distributed energy (DE), the roof used to be the limit—now, the sky might be. According to Wood Mackenzie, the US DE market is expected to nearly double capacity from 2022 to 2027, with capital expenditures reaching US $68 billion annually.

​But here is the catch—DE business models are tough to scale. Because they deal with large quantities of smaller assets, they need platform-like business models that provide a repeatable pathway to developing and delivering many projects.

​In this webinar, we explain how DE companies can build scalable platform business models like tech companies. We will introduce the key business capabilities and the advantages of designing a flexible and modular IT architecture that supports rapid scaling.

​We cover case studies and lessons learned in dealing with the real world of finance and data, which is never clean, simple, or standard.

​Examples include real-time variance analysis of cashflows and IRR reporting for a portfolio of DE assets for investors and the leadership team.

​Then, we share how we created a scalable data architecture and infrastructure for the finance teams, given the fragmented nature of their data:

• ​Complex Excel models

• ​Ad hoc data files from various sources

• ​Disconnected systems:

  • ​CRM

  • ​Accounting/ERP

  • ​Device Monitoring/DAS

  • ​Project Management.

​Join us for this insightful webinar in partnership with SEI.com. We aim to provide DE industry leaders with a clear understanding of how to design an IT strategy and infrastructure that will enable them to operate more efficiently, grow faster, and adapt to the rapid changes in the energy and finance sectors.
