DESIGNED TO REDUCE YOUR RISK AND FINANCIAL COMMITMENT<\/h6>

GreenBug Energy offers three progressive levels of site assessment services to assist in determining the size of a site\u2019s opportunity, the feasibility of development and the most optimal installation specifications. These services are designed to allow you to reduce your risk and financial commitment as you investigate and plan your micro hydro development.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Assessing the potential power available at a site is not easily done if you are just starting to look at waterpower and do not have a lot of background in this area.<\/p>

To start looking into waterpower our \u201cBall Park Power Estimate<\/a>\u201d will give you a rough estimate of your site\u2019s power potential and the size of your opportunity at the site. \u201cBall Park Estimates<\/a>\u201d are provided entirely by information supplied by you.<\/p>

We do not visit the site or collect any data ourselves. This allows you to quickly determine if your site is worth investigating further.<\/p>

Information may be sent to us by email, mail or direct file transfer via our website.<\/p>

This Service is currently being offered \u201cFree\u201d for a limited time.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

If the \u201cBall Park Estimate<\/a>\u201d shows that a site has an opportunity worth investigating then the next step is a \u201cSite Feasibility Assessment<\/a>\u201d.<\/p>

A \u201cSite Feasibility Assessment<\/a>\u201d involves a GreenBug representative visiting the site to ensure an installation is feasible. It involves further research into water flows to get a more accurate power estimate.<\/p>

It also involves research into the potential connection and potential environmental issues. This work does not guarantee connection or environmental approvals nor does it determine the optimal system. It attempts to clarify these issues so that a decision can be made regarding moving forward with a \u201cDetailed Project Plan<\/a>\u201d, environmental approval, and connection applications.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The \u201cDetailed Project Plan<\/a>\u201d provides all the information you require in order to decide whether to make your final decision to
proceed with a micro hydro project.<\/p>

The \u201cDetailed Project Plan<\/a>\u201d gives you a 40 year financial projection based on the optimal system design for your site. To prepare this plan we focus on predicting the expected head and flow duration data for your site by utilizing all available data sources and by collecting site data ourselves.<\/p>

We also consider any environmental or connection issues and how they affect project plans and costs. Finally we run all site plans and data through our proprietary WaterWatts model to determine the system size and specifications which maximize the IRR (Internal Rate of Return) for your project.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
