ENERGY CONSULTING 

DONOVAN ENERGY CONSULTING

Donovan Energy’s leadership team has been working at the forefront of clean energy and energy efficiency for decades. We are ready to deploy our expertise to solve strategic challenges for our private sector and non-profit clients.

ENERGY ROADMAP

With an energy roadmap, we take a strategic, long-term view of how to invest in a building, campus or asset portfolio to achieve desired goals of sustainability and cost efficiencies. In the roadmap, we articulate clear objectives and measures of success—all backed by data—to help you gain support and buy-in from your stakeholders.

​

A Donovan Energy roadmap supports one or more of the following objectives:

 

Planning for, and executing on, corporate sustainability or carbon reduction goals

 

Eligibility for PACE financing

 

Eligibility for state property tax and sales tax exemptions

 

SOLAR/STORAGE CONSULTING

We receive many inbound requests from our commercial customers to help them understand whether an investment in an on-site solar and/or storage system makes financial sense. With today’s rock-bottom prices on solar equipment, the availability of generous tax incentives, and innovative financing solutions, the answer is often “yes.” We offer three “phases” of solar/storage consulting:
