Program Potential, Design, and Implementation

Program Potential and Design

The Cadmus Group has worked extensively with Utilities and clean energy funding agencies to assess program potential and design successful programs to support clean energy. Our experienced team can help answer the biggest questions in program design:

What type of incentive structure minimizes risk while providing the necessary impetus to achieve market penetration of clean energy technologies?
What type of benefit/cost ratio can I expect from my clean energy program?
How do I set up my program to insure a successful and informative evaluation process?
What technologies should my program include, and how do I evaluate the risks and opportunities of a new program?

Program Implementation

In addition to extensive experience designing programs, Cadmus has unparalleled “on the ground” expertise to insure that programs run smoothly and translate, quickly and efficiently, into installed capacity and measurable clean energy generation. To accomplish this, Cadmus provides a range of services in support of existing clean energy funding programs, including:

Technical review of proposed clean energy system design documents
Detailed field inspections and audits of installed clean energy systems
Performance monitoring and troubleshooting of installed systems
Production tracking and REC aggregation
Stakeholder outreach/education
Development of tools to accurately assess potential project benefits

The Commonwealth Wind Evaluation and Siting Tool is an example of analytical tools created by Cadmus for evaluating wind and solar energy projects
