PROJECT SCOPING & OPTIMIZATION
Driving Your Ideal Energy Project
Bridging the gap between the end customer’s goals and a wide range of possibilities is a challenging process. Our team has honed the expertise, tools, and processes to guide you there. Pacifico explores nearly every technology option—solar photovoltaics, batteries, cogeneration / combined heat-and-power, wind turbines, natural gas turbines, combustion engines, fuel cells, and more—to find the perfect generation solution for you.
Let our experts power your path.
Where Power Meets Precision
Whether we are developing utility-scale solar or behind-the-meter (BTM) microgrids, the economics and feasibility of any given power generation asset will depend on many factors:
Technology Operational Characteristics
Natural Gas Availability
Available Space
Energy Consumption Patterns
Renewable Energy Goals
Capital Markets
Technology Cost
Regulatory Environment

About Project Scoping & Design
The feasibility of any power generation asset depends on several factors, including technology operational characteristics, natural gas availability, available space, energy consumption patterns, renewable energy goals, technology costs, and the regulatory environment. Our team evaluates these aspects to determine the optimal energy solution for your specific needs.
We take a comprehensive approach by analyzing energy consumption patterns, available space, regulatory constraints, and financial considerations. We explore various technologies—such as photovoltaics, batteries, wind turbines, natural gas turbines, combustion engines, and fuel cells—to match the best option with your objectives.
Energy consumption patterns help determine system sizing, storage needs, and overall economic feasibility. A high and consistent load may justify baseload generation technologies, while fluctuating demand may benefit from hybrid solutions that incorporate energy storage.
Optimization involves choosing the right mix of technologies, leveraging financial incentives, incorporating energy storage, and designing systems that maximize efficiency while minimizing costs.
Regulations can significantly impact technology selection, project costs, and interconnection feasibility. We evaluate local, state, and federal policies to ensure compliance and identify incentives that could enhance project viability.
If natural gas infrastructure is available, technologies such as gas turbines or combustion engines may be viable options. However, if access is limited, we explore renewable alternatives like solar, wind, and battery storage.
Absolutely. We align our project scoping process with your sustainability objectives by incorporating renewable energy technologies and storage solutions to maximize clean energy integration and carbon reduction.
The required space varies by technology. For instance, solar PV requires significant rooftop or ground area, while fuel cells and batteries have a smaller footprint. Our team assesses available space to recommend the best fit.
Understanding Cost & Financing
Technology costs vary depending on equipment, installation, and operational expenses. Additionally, factors such as capital markets, financing options, and long-term energy price trends influence the overall economic viability of a project.
The good news is Pacifico will evaluate the best options and leverage all available incentives and funding for your projects. By entering into an Energy Services Agreement (ESA) or Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with us, all you will experience is a lower energy bill resulting in savings.
We provide insights into financing options, including power purchase agreements (PPAs), tax credits, and investment incentives, to help reduce upfront costs and improve project economics.
Pacifico will ultimately capture the value of these project incentives and pass along this value to you in the form of cheaper energy and energy savings.
