Feasibility Studies

Prior to entering the pool market, Utilacor will conduct a detailed assessment, focusing on risk management as the key consideration to any client thinking of undertaking this form of energy purchasing arrangement.

Standby Generator/Load shed capability: Our engineering team will carry out an exhaustive study of the business site proposed for this type of purchasing to see if it will be economically viable for the business to either install a standby generator or use a load shed system (turn off processes during price spikes). This assessment will also analyse the vulnerability of the business to prices in the market and to the outlay of having backup or switching off their processes.

Comparisons with contract rates: Another detailed analysis will be done to see if Pool Purchasing is more financially justifiable than a fixed price contract for the site. These findings will be presented impartially for the client to decide. Market education is an important part of this, Utilacor will educate the client on how the Pool Market works and its risks and advantages for their business.

Suitability of Operations: Some business operations are flexible and a business can choose when to conduct them. An example is a irrigation watering system, where it is more effective and advisable to utilise it at night; which usually coincides with lower prices on the pool. The more flexible a site’s operations, the more suited it will be to pool purchasing. As well as the more independent a site…i.e. own generator capability with the ability to meet own capacity demand, the more suitable it will be for pool purchasing.
