Arche Energy is here to help you navigate the challenging world of infrastructure projects and make informed investment decisions.
Infrastructure projects grow our communities: they enable trade, power businesses and generate opportunities for communities.
The energy transition means we are at the frontier of a new age of energy infrastructure investments.
As shareholder groups continue to demand broader and faster emissions reductions from sectors with the highest emissions, Governments, advisory bodies and investors must coordinate to expand our renewable energy sector. We will also need significant regulatory and policy reforms, and an overhaul of network infrastructure.
New energy projects like solar or wind farms will need things like:
Extreme temperatures, fires and flooding are causing damage to the grid. By decentralising sources of power, investing in renewables and digitalisation and prioritising renewables we can create a diverse more adaptable grid.
Technologies like carbon capture and storage and electrolysis show great promise in the energy sector but we will need new infrastructure to support these developments.
Our agile and diverse team optimises the infrastructure development of our clients. From the transport of green hydrogen to building ports, we can help.
Arche Energy’s works across the entire lifecycle: from concept studies and site selections to feasibility, detailed design, and procurement to financial close, construction, and operations.
We provide comprehensive advisory services on financial, procurement, strategic, and public-private partnership matters for large-scale infrastructure projects.
We also assist governments to strategically manage capital, transactions, asset sales, and divestments to optimise their infrastructure investments.
Due diligence provides an independent, objective assessment of the technical feasibility and viability of a project or asset. It provides the information investors, lenders and other stakeholders need to make informed decisions. Arche Energy’s due diligence services facilitate the safe and efficient operations of our clients’ projects. We advise clients on major investment decisions and ensure they are aware of the potential opportunities and weaknesses of projects and technologies.
An owner’s engineer is engaged to protect the best interest of the client. They work closely with the client and their team to make sure infrastructure goals are met, capex and opex are minimised, and revenue is maximised. Owner’s engineers go above and beyond to minimise issues during the design and construction phase without passing them on to asset management, operations or maintenance.
A prefeasibility study is an early stage analysis into a potential project. If you have an idea, our team will conduct a prefeasibility study to provide you with the information you need to greenlight an infrastructure project or make an investment decision. Prefeasibility studies include cost estimates, project risks, safety issues and other important information. Feasibility studies take the prefeasibility stage one step further as they are much more accurate and resource intensive. Detailed feasibility studies will determine if your project can be done effectively and whether it will be profitable. Siting studies investigate areas that may be suitable for project development. Geographic information systems (GIS) can be a helpful tool for this.
Global macro trends like decarbonisation, electrification, ageing infrastructure and energy security provide long-term financial opportunities.
To invest in infrastructure you can own assets, hold the rights to and generate money from energy projects.
You can generate regular and consistent income through successful infrastructure investments. Long-term contracts with creditworthy entities like government bodies will secure your revenue. Energy infrastructure partners like Arche Energy can help you secure these contracts. The consumption of infrastructure rarely fluctuates which means revenue from these investments generally isn’t affected by economic cycles or price fluctuations.
Infrastructure investments are a beacon of stability. Infrastructure companies generally mitigate rising prices through regulated fees that undergo annual consumer price index (CPI) based adjustments or by passing on higher costs to the consumer through increased prices.
Integrating infrastructure into your portfolio has the potential to increase returns while diversifying your financing mix. This lowers your portfolio’s risk as different asset classes perform differently at different times.
If you don’t have the resources for infrastructure project management in-house you should outsource rather than compromise your project. Remember, consultants are here to provide new perspectives and add value.
Consultants are an excellent option if you don’t have a qualified or experienced project manager on your team. Assigning unqualified staff to a project increases your risk of failure so it is best to be prudent.
It’s easy to get lost in internal perspectives within your organisation. A consultant can bring an independent understanding of construction operations and the market you are in.
You may have an in-house project manager but they don’t specialise in a field required for your project. For example, you project may involve battery energy storage systems (BESS) and you need someone with a proven record of delivering BESS projects. Consultants can help fill this skills gap when it is required.
Consultants can collaborate with and train your inhouse team so that next time you can deliver the project on your own.
If you don’t have enough construction projects to justify hiring a full-time position, consultants are a great alternative.
A consultant can free up time for busy project managers who need to work on more important projects for their company. This makes sure schedules are followed and work gets done.
