While many
utilities, vendors, engineering & construction firms, and project developers
will offer similar services (sometimes presented as "free" evaluations),
most all these entities will have a vested interest in the results obtained.
They will want a client's business in one form or another and this "free"
service can be thought of as a "lost leader". In the end, their objective
is to sell a product or service which is interfaced with the results of
their analysis. It is difficult to consider these type of services as either
independent or non-biased.
LB Services does not
sell equipment, perform engineering design services, offer construction
management or financing, and is not affiliated with any utility or project
development firm. Our services are provided for the value of our clients
and there are no "hidden agendas". We offer a truly independent analysis
of your project's potentials and risks.
Probable results, depending
on your specific circumstances, could range from building a site contained
cogen plant, to increasing cogen output capacity to "play" the grid sale
market, to basically "doing nothing" and waiting for deregulation to offer
you lower power prices. You can be confident that our recommendations will
be the direct result of your needs, your risk level, and your particular
technical and finacial constraints. |
