Climate Risk Analytics: The Architecture of Grid Resilience
Institutional Project Finance & Long-Duration Energy Storage for the U.S. Power Grid.
The Mission: Firming the Future
As the U.S. power grid undergoes a historic transition, the gap between intermittent generation and baseline demand is widening. Climate Risk Analytics (CRA) bridges this gap by integrating structured PPA architecture with Next-Generation Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES).
We transform volatile renewable assets into 24/7 dispatchable “Firm” power, ensuring price certainty for utilities.
Strategic Market Operations
In the fragmented landscape of U.S. ISOs (ERCOT, PJM, CAISO, MISO), the value of energy is determined by timing and location. CRA specializes in:
Tax Equity Optimization: We align project structures to maximize Investment Tax Credits (ITC) under the Inflation Reduction Act, specifically for standalone and integrated storage deployments.
Bilateral PPA Engineering: We structure bespoke Offtake Agreements that mitigate “Basis Risk” and “Shape Risk,” providing utility-scale projects with bankable revenue streams.
Strategic Arbitrage: Utilizing our proprietary NERO (Neural Energy Resource Optimizer), we capture value from price deltas, storing energy during periods of negative pricing and discharging during peak demand windows.
The Technology: AR-Series (CAES)
Beyond Lithium: Modular Compressed Air Energy Storage
While the U.S. market is currently saturated with short-duration chemical batteries, the grid requires Long-Duration Energy Storage (LDES) to maintain stability.
Adiabatic Efficiency: Our proprietary AR-Series hardware captures thermal energy during compression, creating a high-efficiency loop that delivers 8-24+ hours of discharge.
Domestic Supply Chain: Unlike lithium-ion, our system utilizes ambient air and steel. This ensures zero reliance on foreign critical minerals, qualifying projects for “Domestic Content” bonus credits.
Rapid Deployment: Modular, above-ground high-pressure arrays designed to be sited at retired thermal plant locations or alongside industrial load centers.
