Sector-Specific

Renewable Energy Project Development

End-to-end project development for solar, wind, and small-hydro projects under SATBA's renewable-energy framework.

Azadi Tower in Tehran

Iran has world-class solar resource across the central plateau and strong wind regimes along the eastern corridor. SATBA (the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Organization) administers a 20-year power-purchase framework that has supported more than 1 GW of installed renewable capacity. We take projects from site selection through PPA execution, EPC procurement, and commissioning.

How We Engage

Engagement steps

Each step ends with something you can review before the next one begins. Timing depends on document availability and third-party responses.

  1. 01

    Site Selection

    Identify and secure viable sites with bankable resource data.

    Review point: agree the output before moving on.

  2. 02

    Permitting

    Obtain all construction, environmental, and grid permits.

    Review point: agree the output before moving on.

  3. 03

    PPA & Finance

    Sign the SATBA PPA and close project finance.

    Review point: agree the output before moving on.

  4. 04

    Construction

    Procure EPC and supervise construction to commissioning.

    Review point: agree the output before moving on.

  5. 05

    Operation

    Run long-term O&M and PPA administration.

    Review point: agree the output before moving on.

Prepare a short brief

Sector, location, structure being considered and the decision date help us scope the work accurately.

Name decision-makers

Tell us who approves outputs and who can authorise access to records, sites or counterparties.

Check sanctions and licences

Confirm your own compliance position early; we cannot provide sanctions clearance or legal opinions.

Renewables in detail

Test the contract, connection and resource together

A strong solar or wind resource is only one part of a viable project. Verify site tenure, grid capacity, permitting, equipment availability and the actual power-sale contract; do not assume that one tariff, term or indexation formula applies to every project. Model curtailment, payment delay, maintenance, import costs and exchange-rate changes explicitly. Obtain the executed or offered contract and the grid study before using an assumed tariff or compensation provision in a financing case.
