Our
Practice in Action – Creating Sustainable Clean Technology Ventures
in Utility Meters
Since
its inception in June 2005, SVI has positioned client companies to
successfully secure over $31 million in public and private financing. SVI
provides a full spectrum of services to assist clients in addressing the
business issues encountered by firms moving their products to market in
the clean technology sector.
SVI’s
capabilities are demonstrated in the case of a client seeking to market a
product which enhanced the interface between utility companies and
customers. The client held a promising technology which would facilitate
a cost effective, real time multi application capability enabling utility
customers to manage costs, and utilities to monitor equipment, power
outage and power quality. Further, the net impact of these measures would
result in conservation and or reduction in greenhouse gases. Following a
period of initial engagement, SVI assisted the client in:
Scoping
a demonstration project to demonstrate the capability of the technology;
- Validating the value
proposition of the technology;
- Identified and mobilized
a technology partner to strengthen the technical application and
value proposition;
- Developed a business
case to support the successful application for funding;
- Engaged partners and
structured agreements to support the project;
- Aligned private and
public investment goals;
- Advice on best practices
and due diligence.
Currently, SVI is engaged in
supporting the client in project implementation, and attracting
additional financing and strategic partners.
