Collaborate with HOMER Energy and Fund Your Feasibility Study

July 2010 -- HOMER Energy is working with a US Department of Commerce agency whose mission is to promote exports of US technology. If you represent a foreign entity seeking to develop a hybrid renewable energy project, HOMER Energy may be able to provide support to your project by contributing planning and feasibility studies funded by this agency.

Your project must meet the following requirements:

1) Energy project. You must be desigining a real energy project. This program will not help with academic research. The project must have a solid business plan and be sponsored by a qualified organization.

2) Developing country. You must be located in a developing country. No projects will be considered from the U.S., Canada, Western Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, or countries that are embargoed by the U.S. government.

3) Size of feasibility study. Your project must support at least $150,000 in planning requirements for HOMER Energy to model, optimize and plan the hybrid system, including introductions to financing sources and equipment vendors.

4) Equipment purchases. The second phase of the project should anticipate at least $6M in equipment purchases from U.S. manufacturers. (For Chinese projects, this should be at least $15M.) The mission of the U.S. agency is to stimulate the export of U.S. energy equipment to developing countries.

5) Local impact. The power project must create local jobs, clean energy, and broader benefits to the community, such as better health care or clean water, electricity for education or improved telecommunications.

If you meet these requirements, please send an executive summary of your project plan to . We will review the submissions and discuss optimal projects with the U.S. agency in an effort to insert them into the agency’s funding priorities. To be clear, funding for these projects is not assured, but it is our intention to advocate for the most worthy proposals.
