Clean Energy Development
McGeown Associates applies expertise and business acumen to finding, evaluating, and developing projects with great returns for our clients. We have a particular specialization in sustainable development, blending renewable power with conventional resources, smart grids, energy storage, and energy efficiency. Working with the U.S. Army and Department of Energy we have developed expertise in power system development, leveraging innovative financing and government authorities to make secure land available for development of energy assets. Our support for clean energy financing has helped governments create innovative programs to improve energy efficiency in buildings and increase use of renewable energy. We have been instrumental in the development of Utility and Energy Savings Performance Contracts to improve infrastructure and reduce energy costs.
We are particularly proud of our efforts that are encouraging new business models for utilities to ensure secure access to reliable sources of clean energy that are affordable for all citizens. The growth of web enabled devices, new generation technology, and storage enable new utility services. This expands the traditional utility role into helping customers enhance quality of life through electricity. This will be key for the future of a clean energy economy.
