Case Study: Leading renewable energy operator streamlines reporting and scales financings with Workiva

Clean Energy Firm Enters New Era of Reporting with Workiva

A leading renewable energy operator supporting more than 200 wind, solar and other projects—and about $17B in consolidated revenue—was struggling to scale reporting for some 80 financings. Producing annual lender presentations, monthly/quarterly operating reports and financials left the accounting team “buried” each audit season, fighting inconsistent footnotes, formatting, rounding and reconciling data instead of focusing on the analytics lenders care about.

The firm adopted Workiva’s Wdesk to standardize templates, control editing rights, sync data, automate calculations and let auditors add electronic comments. The change cut time spent reconciling and formatting, tightened disclosure controls, freed accountants to perform higher‑value analysis, and enabled roughly 30 controllers to support more financings while better stewarding the company’s assets.
