Mantis Solutions

Renewables & Offsets

With so many renewables options, Mantis helps cut through the clutter.

Renewables and offsets aren’t just about achieving carbon neutrality—though that’s a powerful motivator—they’re also a strategic business decision that drives financial resilience and long-term growth. As building performance legislation continues to roll out in cities and some states, facility managers are being increasingly sought to implement these kinds of sustainable solutions.

With so many options, it can be tough to know where to start. From generating and storing power on-site to virtual power purchase agreements (VPPAs) for off-site generation, the landscape of solutions and providers is vast and saturated.

Mantis helps clients cut through the clutter. By developing a tailored roadmap for integrating your sustainability-related goals and strategies, we show clients what that last mile looks like and their best path to reaching their key milestones and goals along the way.

Identify & Mitigate Compliance Risk

As building performance legislation becomes more prevalent, a sound energy strategy keeps down the risk of fines.

Our integraged approach starts with understanding your unique needs.

 

Generating On-Site Renewables

Generating photovoltaic (PV) power on site is appealing for its potential to sell excess power back to the grid and its positive impact on eco-conscious consumers. However, finding the most cost-effective approach can be challenging. We assist organizations in assessing roof suitability, vetting developers, understanding project economics of owned vs. leased arrays, and more.

Buying Off-Site Renewables

Finding the right contract for buying renewables from somewhere else on the grid can be challenging. From finding the right source--wind or solar--to negotiating fair contract terms, the process can be daunting. Mantis works with clients, developers, and utilities every day and can bring clarity to the clutter of options.

Battery Storage

On-site storage brings resiliency to organizations generating power on-site, reducing reliance on the grid. However, these projects are can be cost-prohibitive and not every state offers incentives for them. We help you understand your options and project economics so that you can be smart about resiliency.

Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs)

Buying RECs can be a way to kickstart a sustainability program. Our energy market intelligence and supplier relationships make sure you're getting the RECs you need form the sources you desire, and the best possible price.

Carbon Offsets

There are pros and cons to buying offsets and they're not right for every organization. In the right circumstance, offsets can be a viable option for offsetting emissions that are difficult to curb. We work with clients to understand their needs and can bring options to the table that make sense for their sustainability goals.
