We are entrepreneurs who, in a very short time, have built a business from scratch to current revenues nearing $800 million USD based on our adherence to four basic principles:
FOCUS ON UNDERSERVED MARKETS
In developing markets, we lower the price and increase the availability, reliability and efficiency of electricity, a cornerstone of economic development. By installing highly efficient generating capacity, we can produce electricity less expensively than others in these regions. And by operating those plants ourselves, we ensure our clients continue to benefit from the resulting economic and environmental benefits. Learn more about our work in underserved markets.
TAKE A FUEL AGNOSTIC APPROACH
Many energy developers specialize in specific fuel types. At ContourGlobal, we specialize in efficient design and operation across all fuel types. Our portfolio includes coal, oil, natural gas, biomass, biogas, hydroelectric, solar and wind generation installations. We’ve also developed expertise in refurbishing existing plants, making them both more efficient and more reliable. Learn more about our fuel-agnostic approach.
UNDERSTAND LOCAL RESOURCES
Easily available fuel resources vary with every generation site. We investigate all options, along with our clients’ needs, to determine the best fit for every project. This may mean a run-of-river facility in hydro-rich Brazil, a Colombian plant burning local coal or a tri-fuel plant to anticipate a planned natural gas line – and provide fuel flexibility – in sub-Saharan Africa. Learn more about our local-resource emphasis.
APPLY INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS
We look at every project with fresh eyes, not with the last project’s drawings. With our focus on efficient and reliable operations, we assess all our options in determining the best technology alternatives. That’s how we developed our unique Quad-Gen approach to provide a multinational beverage bottler with food-grade CO2, in addition to electricity, process heat and cooling. Learn more about our innovative solutions.
FOLLOW THROUGH WITH EFFICIENT EXECUTION & OPERATION
We are financial partners in all the plants we build, so it is in our own best interest to ensure the plants we design are built to specification and operated at peak efficiency. Our global workforce is trained to ensure our standards for efficiency and reliability are maintained after the kilowatts start flowing. That’s true, too, of our strict health and safety standards.
