About Orennia
Orennia provides an all-in-one platform for accurate data, predictive analytics and actionable insights across the energy transition. We drive faster capital allocation decisions and help our clients maximize returns across the solar, wind, storage, power, RNG, CCUS, clean fuels and hydrogen sectors. The technology that powers Orennia’s platform delivers an unparalleled experience, distilling information into actionable insights to give our clients a competitive edge.
As the world decarbonizes its energy stack, trillions in capital need to be deployed. Global investment in the energy transition must quadruple to over $5 trillion annually to stay on the 1.5°C pathway, according to the International Renewable Energy Agency. Without accurate data and predictive analytics, developers and investors will struggle to deploy capital efficiently and maximize returns. Orennia’s platform expedites the energy transition with effective and robust information for smarter capital allocation choices.
