A five-year strategy for a hydropower developer
A regional hydropower developer with two operating plants wanted to decide where to invest next in a fast-changing energy market.
The challenge
The board had a long list of candidate projects, no common way to compare them, and growing pressure from lenders to show a clear pipeline.
What we did
- Built a project-scoring model covering returns, risk and grid access
- Ran scenario workshops on tariffs, demand and export opportunities
- Facilitated three board sessions to agree a focused pipeline
- Set up a small portfolio office to track decisions and milestones
The outcome
The board approved a five-year strategy focused on three projects instead of nine, unlocked financing for the first of them, and now reviews the pipeline every quarter against the same criteria.
