Technical Advisory Services
Arbutus’s Advisory Services empower clients to make data-backed decisions and manage risk effectively on their clean energy investments. Acting as a trusted technical advisor, we bring an independent, expert perspective to every engagement – whether it’s evaluating a new project’s viability or safeguarding an investor’s portfolio through due diligence. We combine decades of hands-on experience with global best practices to deliver insights that are objective, thorough, and tailored to local market conditions. Our advisory approach identifies potential issues early and recommends mitigation measures, ensuring projects are bankable, resilient, and positioned for success.
Technical Due Diligence
Comprehensive technical and commercial evaluation of projects and portfolios to uncover risks and true asset value.
We analyze design, technology, resource data, energy yield projections, contracts, and financial assumptions to provide investors and developers with a clear picture of project viability. Our due diligence reports highlight fatal flaws, quantify uncertainties, and recommend solutions, enabling bankable investments and informed go/no-go decisions.
Lender’s Independent Engineering
Trusted lender’s technical advisor services to support debt financing of renewable projects.
We act on behalf of banks and financial institutions to monitor project progress from financial close through construction and into operation. Our services include construction monitoring, start-up and performance testing oversight, generation output verification, and drawdown report reviews. By providing independent validation and early risk identification, we help secure project finance and ensure compliance with lender requirements
Feasibility & Market Studies
Customized studies to guide project planning and strategy. We conduct feasibility studies, site assessments, resource analysis (solar irradiance, wind resource evaluation), and grid interconnection studies to determine project viability.
Our team also performs market research, policy analysis, and technology evaluation for new markets and emerging technologies. These data-driven studies enable clients to understand market dynamics, identify opportunities, and make strategic decisions grounded in real-world insights.
Bankability & Risk Assessments
In-depth bankability studies and risk assessments to ensure your project meets international standards and investor criteria.
We review technical designs, contracts (EPC/O&M agreements), regulatory permits, and financial models to assess overall project robustness. Through risk management best practices (combining global standards with local knowledge), we recommend risk mitigation measures for issues ranging from resource variability and technology reliability to construction delays. The result is a set of actionable recommendations that improve project bankability and long-term performance stability.
Renewable Energy Procurement Support
In India’s evolving energy landscape, businesses, institutions, and public sector entities are increasingly turning to renewable energy to meet cost-saving, decarbonization, and regulatory compliance goals.
Arbutus offers specialized Renewable Energy Procurement Advisory services to help clients navigate the complexities of sourcing clean energy – whether through onsite solar, open access procurement, group captive models, or green power trading mechanisms. Our services are particularly valuable in India’s dynamic policy environment where electricity regulations, open access charges, and incentive structures vary by state and continue to evolve.
Energy Transition Advisory
As climate imperatives grow stronger and regulatory expectations evolve, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) across India are being called upon to decarbonize operations and contribute meaningfully to national and global sustainability goals.
At Arbutus, we provide dedicated Energy Transition Advisory Services to help SMEs chart practical, scalable, and cost-effective pathways to net-zero emissions, without compromising business continuity or financial viability. Our advisory is grounded in a deep understanding of India’s industrial landscape – where SMEs often face unique challenges such as fragmented energy usage, capital constraints, limited in-house expertise, and dynamic policy environments. With Arbutus as your partner, your energy transition is no longer a compliance burden, but a strategic opportunity to enhance competitiveness, reduce costs, and demonstrate climate leadership to customers, investors, and supply chains.
From technical advisory and detailed design engineering to on-site testing, commissioning and quality assurance, we provide end-to-end support throughout the project lifecycle. Arbutus is your one-stop partner for advisory and engineering in clean energy and sustainability, delivering bankable outcomes and climate-resilient infrastructure that powers a sustainable future.
