We Help Develop Energy Assets

Fontana Energy Associates stewards electrical generation and transmission projects through all phases of development, from site selection through permit applications to the closing of finance.

Our current project work includes developing several large-scale renewable energy projects, including a 600 MW PV generation project proposed for the western U.S. We are actively advising a leading investment firm on the purchase of multiple project portfolios and conducting diligence on these assets. In addition, we are developing several transmission lines needed to interconnect projects to the grid.  Our energy storage work includes some of the largest energy storage projects currently under development.

We are leveraging our extensive experience in natural gas generation project development to support large-scale data centers with reliable, high-quality electrical power while meeting our client’s aggressive schedule requirements.

If your firm would like to develop energy assets, we welcome a conversation to see whether our approaches and goals are a good fit.

Experience Providing Powerful Decisions

Fontana Energy strives to be a strategic resource for our clients. We advise major energy companies on investments across the spectrum of generation technologies, including renewable technologies (solar,  wind, and geothermal) and conventional technologies (combustion turbines and internal combustion engines).  A recent assignment for a major integrated energy company was to evaluate a wide range of renewable generation projects (solar PV, CSP, wind, and geothermal) and rank them as potential acquisition targets that could be augmented with energy storage. Another recent project was the phased development of both combustion-turbine and reciprocating-engine generation to support the scheduling needs of a large data center complex.

We work seamlessly with our clients, and we can bring energy and excitement to your projects. We are focused, flexible to match your needs, nimble, and efficient; and we can lend expertise to a focused short-term assignment, help achieve a long-term strategic goal, or offer complete project management. We bring a wealth of strategy, established relationships, and consultation to each unique project. Our clients trust us with critical projects and timelines. We become an integral part of their development teams.

We choose our clients and projects carefully based on shared vision, integrity, and awareness of the social and environmental effects of our actions—and in line with our ethics policy. Then we bring these projects to life.
