Multi-Gigawatt Renewable Portfolio Yield Benchmarking & Loss Attribution
An infrastructure investment fund overseeing 3.2GW of operational wind and solar assets across 45 project companies.
Run on Santulan · Renewable Performance
The challenge
Executive leadership lacked a single unified platform to evaluate which project companies and O&M contractors were performing below financial yield models.
Monthly performance reports from O&M vendors were delayed by 30 days and used inconsistent loss categorization definitions.
Isolating whether underperformance was caused by bad weather, equipment degradation, or grid curtailment was difficult.
How Santulan solves it
Unified Portfolio Asset Command Center
Santulan aggregates SCADA, weather data, revenue contracts, and O&M ticket logs across all 45 project companies into one cockpit.
Normalized Yield Benchmarking
Normalizes energy production against actual irradiance and wind resource availability, computing true Performance Ratio (PR) metrics.
Automated Loss Waterfall Attribution
Categorizes every lost megawatt-hour into clear loss buckets: Weather, Grid Curtailment, Equipment Downtime, Soiling, or O&M SLA Delay.
O&M Contractor SLA Auditing
Audits O&M vendor response times automatically against contractual downtime penalty clauses.
Financial P&L Risk Dashboard
Provides fund managers with live revenue tracking against debt service coverage ratios (DSCR).
The outcome

- 0 daysaccelerated monthly portfolio financial reporting turnaround
Identified $4.1M in recoverable generation losses across 8 underperforming solar and wind projects.
Enforced O&M contractor SLA compliance penalties using objective automated SCADA data logs.
Accelerated monthly portfolio financial reporting turnaround from 30 days to instant live dashboards.
