Energy Sector Project Experience

Navigator Consulting has extensive experience in the analysis, planning, financing and monitoring of investments in renewable energy, energy storage and battery technologies. Our work combines commercial, financial and investment expertise with an understanding of the underlying technologies, operating models and regulatory environment.

​

We support investors, developers, technology companies, financial institutions and other stakeholders throughout the investment lifecycle, including market and feasibility analysis, investment planning, financial modelling, due diligence, financing support, business planning and investment monitoring.

​

Our experience covers renewable energy generation at both distributed and industrial scale, including:

​

• Solar Energy: ground-mounted and industrial photovoltaic installations; commercial and industrial rooftop PV; distributed generation and self-consumption systems;
   

• Wind Energy: assessment, investment planning and financial analysis of wind power projects;
   

• Geothermal Energy: feasibility, investment planning and commercial assessment of geothermal energy projects;
   

• Hydropower: investment and financial analysis of hydroelectric generation projects;
   

• Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS): investment analysis, financial modelling, commercial assessment and development planning for standalone and renewable-integrated battery storage installations;
   

• Battery Technologies and Manufacturing: extensive experience with battery technologies and battery-related investments, including both lead-acid and lithium-ion technologies, with applications spanning stationary energy storage and the automotive and electric mobility sectors.
   

Renewable Energy & Storage Investments
 

Navigator supports the development and evaluation of renewable-energy investments from initial concept through financing, implementation and operation. Assignments include assessing market opportunities and regulatory frameworks, evaluating project economics, preparing investment and business plans, developing financial models, conducting commercial and financial due diligence, and monitoring investment implementation.
 

Our work increasingly considers renewable generation and storage as an integrated energy system. This includes evaluating the interaction between solar and wind generation, battery storage, grid connection, electricity pricing, self-consumption, energy trading and project financing.
 

Battery Energy Storage Systems

​

Energy storage is becoming an increasingly important component of renewable-energy investment as electricity systems accommodate greater levels of intermittent generation. Navigator supports the commercial and financial assessment of standalone and co-located BESS projects, including investment requirements, operating assumptions, revenue models, financing structures, project returns and investment risks.
 

Our wider experience with lithium-ion batteries and electric mobility provides an additional perspective on battery economics, technology development, manufacturing, supply chains and lifecycle considerations.

​

Battery & Automotive Experience

​

Navigator's energy-storage experience extends into the automotive sector, where we have worked extensively with lead-acid and lithium-ion battery technologies and their application in conventional, hybrid and electric vehicles.
 

This experience provides an understanding of battery technology not simply as an energy-storage asset, but as part of a broader industrial ecosystem encompassing battery manufacturing, supply chains, vehicle integration, charging, energy management and electric mobility.
