Technical and economic studies

Pre-feasibility and feasibility studies

Prefeasibility and feasibility studies include the analysis from several perspectives, starting with the analysis of resource availability, either conventional or non-conventional; an environmental assessment that also covers licensing requirements, then moving on to a basic or detailed technical design analysis depending on the stage of the project, using proven models. Finally, the financial evaluation is performed using an in-house developed model that allows the simulation of several scenarios.

Project structuring

During the last 20 years USAENE has accompanied national and international private investors in the financial and technical structuring of more than 2500 MW of renewable energy projects and more than 3,000 MW in conventional energy projects. In addition, USAENE has structured more than 20 projects in non-interconnected areas using renewable energies that will provide access to electricity to more than 8000 users.

Technical, economic and regulatory analysis

USAENE has carried out several technical-economic studies on new technologies, new production resources and new energy solutions in both market and centralized systems, with the purpose of identifying barriers, opportunities and challenges for their incorporation in the short, medium and long term within the corresponding energy matrix.

Network and connection studies

USAENE has conducted connection studies for 900 MW, including renewable energy projects. The process of submitting the connection study to the grid operator must follow a specific technical procedure, determined by market regulation, failure to comply with this process will result in delays for the project. USAENE has extensive experience in developing and submitting connection studies following the requirements that will result in timely approvals.

USAENE has also designed terms of reference for the contracting of EPCs and technical support in energy procurement processes.
