NENUPHAR ADVISORS

Nenuphar Advisors is the result of bringing years and years of accumulated experience in Renewable and Conventional Energy Projects with GWs and GWs of capacity. As we know the “best of both worlds” we have perhaps a legitimization of presenting the best solutions decarbonised wise. In fact, is undeniable that Renewable generation is competitive with all other generation sources including Nuclear and CCGT.

With the integration of more and more renewable generation in the systems the need of a supporting strong network is undeniable because of renewable intermittence, apart from Biomass, Biogas, Geothermal, Waste To Energy and Pumped hydroelectric storage, but these five sources are not always available and the investment Capex is much higher compared with the other Renewables like Solar PV and Wind, which are completely in Grid Parity mode. The stability of the Electrical Transmission Network is a vital part of a sovereign state and so the big challenge is the mentioned integration of renewables and here is where the Energy Storage systems enter and have the biggest role to play.

The Solar-Plus-Wind-Plus-Storage is the best bet for the near future, complemented with Biomass, Biogas, Geothermal, Waste To Energy and Pumped hydroelectric storage, wherever possible, and if not the CCGTs shall be considered waiting for the near developments in Storage.

The ideal Energy Generation mix must be adapted and dissected in each country, accordingly with the local energy sources and their location, and with local conditions, either social, population dissemination, actual energy consumption and future expected load diagrams, as for instance the Electrical Vehicle integration will bring.

These opportunities that are arising bring with it benefits to the general population, to the country government renewables targets and budgets, and to the IPP developers that are willing to enter and do the necessary investment, development and operate the power plants. Furthermore, most of the International Investment Funds, Pension Funds, International Investment Banks, Family Offices and Venture Capital are willing and eager to participate in these opportunities.

Jobs will be created, and the overall parties will benefit with this situation, maybe unique, and with it a win-win status will be created.
