You may also know us as the architect of NREL’s CREST model…
SEA developed the industry standard Cost of Renewable Energy Spreadsheet Tool (CREST) for the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. CREST is designed as a simple, peer-reviewed and transparent tool intended to facilitate stakeholder (i.e., state policymakers, regulators, utilities, developers, and investors) discussions and decisions on setting cost-based incentives. Versions of the CREST models for Solar, Wind, Geothermal, Anaerobic Digestion and Fuel Cell installations are publicly available at the link above. Please contact SEA for a quote on customization to fulfill your specific need. Prior customizations include: additional technologies; additional expense detail; customer-centric “dashboards,” and bulk-processing capability to run large volumes of scenarios quickly.
