ALTERNA POWER, INC
ORLANDO, FLORIDA

Alterna Power is an energy consulting and project management firm that assists schools, governments, and private organizations with solar PV, battery storage, and Community Choice programs. Our services lower costs, reduce risk, and optimize the value of energy projects. If you are responsible for energy planning and management for your organization, it's likely you've received offers that guarantee energy savings with solar, battery storage, or energy efficiency upgrades. These offers, usually from solar developers, energy service companies (ESCOs), or the vendors that sell energy products, may be promising. You may feel pressure from higher ups, board members, or other stakeholders to act quickly on an offer before incentives expire. But you put your reputation, and your organization’s financial future, on the line when you sign a contract. Without a transparent, competitive procurement and objective evaluation, you can’t be sure you’re getting a good deal. Finally, because all of an ESCO’s services are combined into one package, the actual financial return of each recommended solution is not clear. Therefore, low or even negative value solutions may be combined with high value solutions to arrive at an average return, which may seem like a good deal if you don’t have the information to dig deeper or provide objective comparison with other options. . An independent consulting and project management firm like Alterna Power serves only one party—you, and represents your interests at every stage of planning and implementation. Alterna analyzes all generation and efficiency options to develop a comprehensive energy plan, with clear risk analyses and objective recommendations based on your goals, resources and needs. Alterna assesses all available financing options, such as cash purchase, bond measures, lease-purchase and Power Purchase Agreements (PPA), to help select the option with the highest 25-year, net present value (NPV) energy savings. We are independent of any financial firms or vendors, and help you carefully assess the risks to project schedule and energy value before making a decision. If your organization does move forward, Alterna helps develop and manage a transparent, competitive procurement (RFP) process to ensure best value design, financing and timeline for your project. Alterna defines the parameters of a project well beforehand to minimize costly change orders, and holds vendors accountable to contractual terms throughout design, construction and operations. An ESCO’s package deal may seem tempting, but it’s important to have a trusted partner that presents all options and represents only your interests. Over 75 public and private organizations have trusted Alterna to help plan and implement energy projects with confidence. Choose a partner you can trust. Alterna Power can help you objectively plan energy projects, evaluate proposals, and analyze all available design and financing options.
