IPS Added Value

The commercial arrangements will usually involve a long-term energy agreement. This carries distinct risks pertaining to the future unknowns of the energy sector and particularly of new innovations in energy incentives.

Government and EU incentives for environmentally-friendly energy may create greater incentives in the future. Sharing of these unknown incentives should be addressed in the contract.

These points and others should be reflected in the contracts.

	IPS can audit existing technical proposals to give confidence. This will use a model of the operation to demonstrate the investment and cashflow implications of design, operational and fiscal factors.
	IPS has experience of negotiating long-term energy contracts and understands the risks on both sides. This knowledge can give the host confidence in the commercial details as well as in the future framework embodied in the contract.
	For those just commencing the process, IPS can provide fully-managed, competitive procurement programme from analysis of conceptual benefits through to putting negotiated agreements in place.
