Process

The special purpose vehicle (SPV) provides services to the consortium that ensure specific requirements are met while maintaining information barriers. Vercity adds value to the project through habitat management and cultivating effective processes that drive performance. We resolve power quality issues to ensure grid compliance and develop sustainable financial models.
