What we do

Three pillars

Alpha Inception has been deeply involved in carbon and renewable energy markets as they emerged from regulatory concept to full-fledged commodity markets — one of the longest track records of any advisory firm in the space.

01

Emissions & Renewables Trading

Fundamental modeling, price forecasting and active trading advice to optimize commodity procurement or monetization. Supply/demand models built through 2030 with forward price forecasts through 2040, updated quarterly.

02

Innovative Hedge Structuring

Capacity tolling, PPAs, bridge PPAs, forward-starting PPAs, pre-pays, embedded financing structures and revenue puts. Structures that manage cash-flow risk out through ten years.

03

Asset Development & Financing

PPA structuring and asset tolling valuation, including for IRS tax equity opinions. Proprietary models built for wind, solar, CCGT, battery storage, carbon CCS/DAC and green hydrogen.

“The Alpha Inception advantage is that we produce accurate and real MTM valuations not just theoretical valuations. Our valuations can be transacted in the marketplace.”
