Our People
WHO WE ARE
Carbon Partners is an independent advisory group providing planning, analysis, and project management services within the renewable energy sector.
We focus on large scale commercial, rural and industrial grid-scale solutions.
Industry Partnerships.
Our skills lie in the analysis and planning required for effective grid-scale renewable energy solutions. We understand the logistics required to develop and present a business case for a large solar PV farm installation project from consent to connection, through to lifetime maintenance. We have access to comprehensive industry analytical tools that we use throughout the development and design phase.
Network Partners – We are agnostic on national network integration and can provide independent analysis of connectivity options and opportunities, together with analysis of forecast returns from future grid connection.
Installation Partners – We partner with a suite of local and national installation partners and provide oversight on post-install operations and maintenance over the lifetime of your energy assets. We can advise on costed hardware options, and source independently from a range of suppliers.
Industry Partners – We are trusted colleagues of leading energy stalwarts from energy sector legal specialists, to senior generator and retailer executives across New Zealand. We can provide support and advisory services for stalled consents or connection issues.
