Case Study: a mid-sized global consultancy company optimizes coal mine and power plant land use with Xendee

Mid-Sized Global Consultancy Company - Customer Case Study

A mid-sized global consultancy was asked to determine the optimal use of land at retired and soon-to-be-retired coal mines and power plants across the United States and Canada. Facing new opportunities from the Inflation Reduction Act, the consultancy's challenge was to analyze the project economics for a potential joint solar and wind farm, including variables like capital costs and financing rates. They utilized the Xendee platform to model these complex scenarios.

Using Xendee, the consultants modeled the optimal mix of solar and wind generation, running sensitivities on uncertain variables such as sale price and turbine models. The platform provided the results needed, predicting key project economics including Capex, Opex, payback period, and NPV for the optimal renewable energy configuration at each location.
