The RES Mission . . .
To create economically viable businesses and projects based upon sustainable natural resource management, utilization and conservation.
WHAT WE DO
RES assists new busines to develop competitive operations and works with existing ventures to explore emerging opportunities.
In the renewable energy realm, RES assists clients to evaluate and utilize renewable energy to achieve production and economic objectives.
RES helps communities create an "energy economy". An economy based on utilizing locally produced energy and resources. The enormous economic multipliers from these economies can offer an opportunity for communities to jump start their economies.
RES focuses on holistic business and project design - identifying objectives, evaluating the available resources and selecting approaches and technologies appropriate to the situation and client.
RES team members also provide training and education for individuals, groups, and events.
BUSINESS SOLUTIONS
To create economically viable businesses and projects based upon sustainable natural resource management, utilization and conservation.
RES considers a business to be a legally organized venture with production and marketing components, operated and managed to generate revenues.
RES works one-on-one to create decision-grade materials for clients to expedite planning, financing, marketing, operations, and any regulatory issues - whether the opportunity involves a new product or service or diversification/expansion of an existing venture. Then we help you through the build/equip stage and operational start up.
We believe that economically viable businesses can support the appropriate management, conservation and sustainable use of natural resources. And time and again we've watched benefits radiate from these businesses to create further value to their communities.
Whether your idea is a service or a product, whether it will involve a single operator or a national dealer network, we look forward to working with you.

Project Scoping and Feasibility |
Project solutions are a series of planned activities that help clients take advantage of an opportunity or mitigate a challenge.
Projects have to be economically and technically feasible - and accomplish your objective. We help you evaluate the situation and then identify an approach and technology that will achieve it. We take it from site analysis to planning to implementation.
If there are grants, incentives or cost-share available we will help with the application process.
