Fuel Retail Solar Portfolio Program

ESG | Multi-Site Deployment | 5.6 MW

PROJECT OVERVIEW

Developed and coordinated a 5.6 MW off-site solar portfolio program for 50 fuel stations, enabling centralized renewable generation, multi-site energy offset, reduced operational disruption, and future scale-up to 28 MW.

ROLE

Led pre-execution development by coordinating client, utility/LDC, consultants, vendors, and internal teams across electricity consumption review, generation estimate review, multi-meter energy allocation, approvals, design finalization, and execution readiness.

RESULT & IMPACT

1

5.6 MW pilot capacity delivering CAD 1.5M annual savings

2

Enabled 50 fuel stations to transition toward 100% renewable electricity

3

Minimized operational disruption across active fuel stations

4

Enabled scale-up from 5.6 MW pilot to a 28 MW program through subsequent tender in the same region

PROBLEM

Distributed portfolio of 50 fuel stations within a single LDC, creating multi-site aggregation and coordination complexity

Limited on-site solar feasibility due to space, safety constraints, and operational risks at fuel stations

On-site deployment required station shutdowns for assessment and strengthening, leading to revenue loss and extended approval timelines

Existing off-site solar models required adaptation for fuel retail operations and utility alignment

SOLUTION

• Implemented an off-site solar model under Group Net Metering, enabling centralized generation and energy offset across multiple fuel stations

• Developed a portfolio-based approach, aggregating 50 stations under a single solar asset to simplify execution and maximize scale efficiency

• Eliminated on-site risks by avoiding station shutdowns, structural modifications, and safety-related approvals

• Coordinated with utility (LDC) to enable multi-meter energy allocation and billing alignment across distributed assets

• Led stakeholder alignment across PSU, NGO, government, utility, and I&C partners to enable execution under compressed timelines

TECHNICAL & COMMERCIAL INPUTS

Reviewed electricity consumption across 50 fuel stations to support off-site solar allocation and energy offset planning.
Supported generation estimate review by checking expected annual generation, capacity assumptions, and portfolio-level offset requirements.
Reviewed commercial assumptions including savings, payback, regulatory charges, and scale-up feasibility.
Coordinated technical inputs with utility/LDC, consultants, vendors, and internal teams before execution planning.
