Market evaluation allows us to define the main factors that contribute to an entry decision, business continuation or business efficiency improvement. We offer the performance of three main studies (with specific focus if needed):
- Energy markets/countries overview and their potential (historical trends, present situation and expectations)
- Electricity price analysis and forecast (the expected electricity price for the next 5, 10, 15 or 20 years; this defines a project’s commercial opportunities)
- Market ‘hurdle’ rate (the rate which should be applied to an investment decision; i.e., equity returns of the analysed opportunity)
Corporate-strategy development is an important tool that allows us to define anything from specific to generic project opportunities and evaluate them in combination with various market conditions.
Strategy development allows us to use evaluations and forecasts as a base for the company’s business direction. The ultimate aim of strategic development is to:
- Identify business opportunities
- Set targeted revenue levels
- Forecast annual cash flow (anything from individual- and company-level opportunities, geographical regions, market segments, consolidated group of company results, etc.)
- Create profit & loss accounts
- Define various scenarios (e.g., Low, Base and High)
- Evaluate the business at various stages (from individual opportunities to overall business impact)
- Set targets and track by various metrics (e.g., MWs in construction, MWs installed, MWs in operations and the number of projects in various stages)
- Allow for control of financial resources, cash-flow levels and required cushions, tax control, liquidity, letters of credit, etc.
Project evaluation is an important milestone. It answers the most basic yet most important question—what is the level of return on the proposed investment?
We offer the following advisory services:
- Detailed and executive analysis of the required levels of project inputs, i.e. capital investment, operating expenses, financing terms, timing, revenue assumptions, repayments, etc.
- Comprehensive and high-level calculation of cash flow and its various components, including equity returns
- Commercial scenarios subject to market conditions.
Financing is considered one of the main obstacles to the realisation of energy projects. Large-scale projects require a thorough understanding of how financing will be arranged and how revenues will be generated.
We have experience in cooperating with a broad range of entities, ranging from international banks oriented for export financing to global institutions with dedicated programmes for energy efficiency improvement grants and subsidies.
We provide comprehensive advice and financing option scenarios including:
- Advice on the project financing decision
- Determination of available debt-injection options
- Explanation of additional financing options through subsidies and grants
- Estimation of detailed financing repayment injection timing schedule, related charges, interest rates and principal repayments.
Each project needs a plan for timely, successful and efficient delivery. Therefore, project development is a must.
We have expertise in project-development management. We can provide advice and oversight regarding:
- Establishment of tasks, timelines and responsibilities
- Estimation of associated development expenses
- Guidance through the development process.
SYNECTA a.s. offers logistics services with detailed export documentation preparation in accordance with legislation in the state of origin and the destination. We are experienced in transporting equipment of any size between the USA, Europe and Eurasia. We have expertise in preparing relevant documents and conducting all necessary procedures before forwarding goods, including:
- Certificates of origin (certified by local chambers of commerce), which minimises exporter‘s time and cost during customs clearance
- Commercial invoices, packing lists with indication of Harmonized System (HS) codes and goods descriptions
- Performing pre-shipment inspection and drawing up the customs declaration.
Our partners are:
- LKW WALTER
- DHL
- Red Line Group
- Euroasia Logistics
We play a proactive role in engineering, procurement and construction (EPC). We have well-established relationships with our subcontractors and take care of the EPC processes.
We offer turnkey projects of any size and complexity, providing a full range of services from designing energy plants to project work and management.
We take care of O&M, allowing for long-term increases in operational efficiency through a defined schedule and an agreed-upon service cost structure.
O&M is an integral procedure allowing for smooth continuous performance with defined costs and timing-maintenance intervals.
SYNECTA’s value is enhanced performance and timely, cost-efficient maintenance execution.
We have been active establishing emissions reduction in Asia and Europe since 2011.
We are currently involved in four Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) projects. Our two direct projects include:
- Talimarjan Clean Generation Project emissions reduction 8,361,518 t CO2e.
- Tashkent Power Project emissions reduction 3,903,428 t CO2e.
We offer the following services:
- Identification of potential CDM projects; identify the methodology, establish the baseline case
- Development of the GHG (greenhouse gas) emission reduction documentation in accordance with international rules
- Advisory services in contract negotiations with the validation company and executive board
- Marketing GHG emission reductions on behalf of the project owner.
We command the research and development towards implementing smart-metering projects as a way for more efficient energy conservation and long-term benefits passed on to both the industry and our customers.
The main advantages of smart-meter implementation are:
- Efficient control of electricity peaks
- Better structured transmission and distribution networks
- Setting ‘live’ principles to determine energy tariffs.
According to EU directives, European consumers may have more than 280 million smart meters installed by 2020:
- UK: 53 mln meters
- Italy: 30 mln meters
- France: 35 mln meters
- Netherlands: 15 mln meters
- Spain: 33 mln meters
- Sweden: 5 mln meters
There are highly advanced technologies that require minimal or no waste sorting and produce significantly less emissions and hazardous residue, have higher energy yields versus existing technologies, are supported by EU mechanisms and have a defined income stream. These advanced plants, such as plasma arcs, are able to generate twice as much electricity as classical combustion technology and up to three times more than a general wind park, meaning more households served with electricity.
There are three main socio-economic environmental benefits of Waste to Energy (WtE) technologies:
- Up to six times more emissions reduction in comparison with landfilling and more than a 90% volume increase of recycled residue
- Safe treatment of a variety of waste
- Electricity supply for more households (three times as many) compared to general wind sites.
Biodiesel is a ecological fuel produced from vegetable oil. In most cases rapeseed oil, sunflower oil and soybean oil are used in the transesterification process of biodiesel production.
This kind of fuel could be used alone in diesel engines or mixed with petrodiesel.
SYNECTA a.s. creates value to the biodiesel industry by minimization of air pollution in comparison with conventional fuels to contribute to green-energy efficiency as a renewable energy source.
The main biodiesel advantages are:
- It is a renewable energy source
- Air pollution reduction
- It can be blended with other fuel
- It can be used in conventional diesel engines without additional modernization.
