Clean Energy Procurement Services

Ascend Analytics has helped procure over 10 million megawatt-hours per year of renewable energy and 12,000 MWh of battery storage capacity for its customers.

Designed for Corporate Renewable Energy buyers, Utilities, and Community Choice Aggregators (CCAs), our clean energy procurement services provide a more competitive process (with 3 to 5 times the bidders as buyer run processes). Ascend realizes additional participation based on our brand and extensive relationships with the power developers. For the buyer, we provide comprehensive economic valuation and carbon free energy (CFE) analysis of bid projects through a highly automated RFO process to rapid bid processing and selection of a short-list.

The result is a least cost supply portfolio with minimized risk and forward-looking value of energy and CFE on an annual and 24x7 basis.

Ascend provides end-to-end support throughout the energy resource procurement process, including:

• Material preparation for solicitation with customized offer forms
• Marketing the procurement leveraging Ascend's partnership network
• Hosting services for document submission and communications with bidders
• Bidder conference and Q&A support
• Automated screening and compliance verification of submission packages
• Advanced modeling of project and PPA specific attributes
• Shortlisting management and supplemental modeling support during negotiations
