Asset Management for Renewable Excellence

Edma Energy specializes in overseeing the technical, financial, and administrative facets of energy facilities throughout their lifecycle, from inception and construction to operation. We deliver comprehensive services to ensure:
 
1. Peak technical and financial outcomes.
2. Adherence to the project’s regulatory and contract requirements.
3. Efficient coordination with all third-party contributors.
 
It's a prevailing trend to delegate asset management responsibilities in renewable energy sectors. Indeed, it's a proven method for maximizing the efficacy of a power plant or a suite of plants.
 
At Edma Energy, our track record in renewable asset oversight reveals that many clients seek external expertise for their solar and wind energy projects. We offer end-to-end asset management solutions, from business, technical, to legal perspectives, as well as tailored consultancy. This flexibility allows our partners to outsource their entire asset management needs or select specific areas of interest.

Assets Management

Business Assets Oversight

Edma Energy excels in comprehensive commercial asset management, overseeing every aspect of facility governance from start to finish. Our expertise encompasses regulatory compliance, contractual and legal nuances, taxation, administrative tasks, and environmental responsibilities.

Typically, our clientele consists of SPVs (special purpose vehicles) – entities birthed for this very mission, often as offshoots of larger corporations. Trust Edma Energy with your complete commercial asset management demands.

Project Finance Management

Renewable energy facilities necessitate significant capital and a comprehensive long-term financial strategy. At Edma Energy, our team comprises experts adept in handling tailored, structured financing, often termed as 'project finance'.

We diligently track and validate distinct commitments, formulate annual financial projections, which include profit, loss, and cash flow, and generate reports tailored for financial institutions. Complementing this suite of services, we also provide cash flow assessments and in-depth liquidity analyses.

Accounting and Finances

At Edma Energy, we meticulously log accounting entries and determine the relevant depreciation provisions. Additionally, we manage the firm's financial records and handle all business correspondence.

Accounting

We craft monthly or quarterly financial reports, along with annual statutory accounts. We ensure these reports are duly registered with the Business Registry. Furthermore, if our clients desire, we can coordinate and oversee external accounting audits.

Tax Management

We simplify the intricacies of tax responsibilities tied to renewable initiatives. Our vigilant monitoring of regulatory adherence and crafting of annual tax schedules provides our clients with the assurance of full tax compliance.

But our role doesn't stop at strategizing; we diligently prepare, submit, and oversee tax returns, manage tax refunds, and when required, maintain a seamless liaison with tax authorities regarding all tax-centric issues.

Financial Reporting

The entity overseeing the facility must consistently provide financial updates to its stakeholders. In line with this, Edma Energy's Business Asset Oversight team delivers monthly financial summaries and a detailed executive report every quarter.

Treasury Management

We oversee the organization's financial statements and facilitate the setup and execution of preferential credit lines and tax deferrals.

Our team is adept at formulating and executing payment directives, ensuring timely debt settlements as per predetermined financing and intra-group agreements.

Additionally, we handle revenue and tax account management for our clientele.

Legal Assistance

Managing renewable assets can present a myriad of legal and corporate challenges. However, entrusting these tasks to experts can simplify matters. At Edma Energy, we assist our clients with the preparation of board of directors and shareholder meeting minutes.

We meticulously oversee the organization's legal documentation and handle all contractual paperwork, allowing our clients to focus on other priorities with increased tranquility.

Assets Management

Technical Assets Oversight

Technical asset management handles the operational stage of renewable resources. It ensures and checks compliance with both regulatory requirements and contracts for the project and all associated third parties.

Employing a technical asset manager boosts your production efficiency, lowers expenses, and confirms adherence to the latest technical standards. Such oversight ensures seamless coordination with third parties involved technically in your facility.
Typically, our clientele consists of SPVs (special purpose vehicles) – entities birthed for this very mission, often as offshoots of larger corporations. Trust Edma Energy with your complete commercial asset management demands.

Performance Tracking

A renewable energy facility isn't self-sustaining. We keep a remote eye on the plant, tracking key KPIs, assessing anomalies, scrutinizing alarms, and evaluating daily performance. Additionally, we oversee both preventive and remedial maintenance activities, examine SCADA (the facility's control software), utilize virtual reality for parameter management, and promptly relay identified issues to the plant's O&M contractor.

Performance Analysis

This is a crucial element of asset management. Every month, we ensure the plant's optimal operation by pinpointing discrepancies between real and anticipated performance, spotting incidents, deciphering their origins, and suggesting enhancements to both the facility and the operator's processes. All these efforts aim to prolong the technical lifespan of the plant and boost production.

Plant maintenance

Every quarter, we plan visits to the plant or the collection of plants. During these visits, we assess the facility's overall state, validate key preventive and corrective actions, conduct meetings with the operator, and offer guidance on any identified issues.

If any issues arise at the plant, we manage all the necessary maintenance or repair activities to ensure minimal disruption to the asset's production.

Energy Management

Every month, our team handles production assessments, revenue computations, andverifications. We manage claims with the energy purchaser or offtaker and communicate with primary billing and payment entities. Furthermore, we orchestrate the necessary steps to guarantee accurate biling for the energy delivered to the grid.

Project Management

We strategize, coordinate, and oversee significant milestones of the asset to guarantee the plant's operational success. When it comes to O&M, we monitor adherence to obligations, evaluate procedures, and validate the yearly preventive plan, addressing any related claims when needed.
 
Additionally, we liaise with the O&M company for corrective maintenance at the plant and oversee the sale of power in the wholesale market, submitting production forecasts.
 
Furthermore, as experts in technical asset management, our responsibilities also encompass:
 
•Maintaining a direct liaison with the plant's local stakeholders like municipalities, neighboring landowners, and energy regulators, linked to the project company's operations.
•Ensuring that the company complies with current permits, licenses, and regulatory standards.
•Monitoring the services of the surveillance firm. We also coordinate and track necessary actions in response to any security breaches in the project.
•Checking adherence to EPC assurances, ensuring alignment with the design contract, essential supplies, and the plant's construction. We address any associated claims if required.
•Coordinating the operational activities of the project as executed by external technical consultants.

Risk and event mitigation

Our technical asset management team manages and oversees insurance claims from initiation to resolution, ensuring clients receive due compensation. We collaborate seamlessly with all relevant entities, including the O&M provider, insurance broker, insurer, expert agency, security firm, and others.

Technical Reports

Our technical asset management role involves delivering comprehensive monthly technical reports about our clients' plants. These reports furnish specific insights into the current condition of the asset.
They encompass production metrics, technical and contractual readiness, an overview of significant malfunctions (complete with actions initiated and their present status), as well as updates on permits and legal matters.

Furthermore, these documents highlight any detected concerns and their mitigation strategies that might affect production, budgetary performance, KPI oversight, revenue from the project, and all aspects of health, safety, and environmental preservation. We detail significant maintenance activities (preventive, corrective, and predictive) carried out during the month and anticipated for the subsequent month. For several clients, we also draft quarterly executive summaries.

These summaries pinpoint key initiatives that need monitoring or executive decisions.

Being specialists in technical renewable asset management, we're adept at examining the O&M provider’s documentation. Should we identify any inconsistencies between our analysis and the provider's, we promptly inform the client.
