De-risk grid connection. Optimise investment decisions. Accelerate energisation.
Advisory Services at Intium is designed to reduce risk for developers and asset owners by bringing together the big three that significantly determine project outcomes: technical, commercial and regulatory.
Intium’s Advisory Service is a continuous risk reduction and value engineering process that supports energy projects from early pre-feasibility and concept design through to commissioning and operation, ensuring decisions are well informed, optimised, and bankable, every step of the way.
Saket brings more than two decades of senior leadership experience in grid connections, renewable generation, and large-scale energy infrastructure delivery, across organisations in Australia, New Zealand, and the broader APAC region. Connect on LinkedIn
From project viability assessment to long-term operations, Intium’s Advisory Services can support each stage, so risk is reduced as decisions become more committed and more expensive to change over time.
Evaluate opportunities within the constraints of technology, market needs and networks.
Initial project definition, options and commercial framing.
Early technical, commercial and delivery pathway assessment.
Detailed engineering, cost, risk and execution planning.
Investment decision support and final project validation.
Procurement strategy, supplier coordination and commercial support.
Buildability, delivery sequencing and construction-phase support.
Testing, compliance, readiness and commissioning support.
Performance monitoring, optimisation and lifecycle support.
Early-stage clarity
To shape modelling assumptions and reduce the risk profile before FID.
Decision-grade options
That integrate technical, commercial and regulatory trade-offs.
Lifecycle thinking
To avoid choices that save costs in the short term but create operational challenges in the long term.
Smaller investment. Significant impact
Across the industry, renewable energy projects continue to face uncertainty through grid connection, especially when technical requirements evolve, network constraints tighten, and approvals stretch out. When grid connection slips, it can create a domino effect across schedule, cost, revenue and timing, resulting in unviable projects.
Grid connection strategy and risk mitigation
We help developers and asset owners reduce uncertainty and improve confidence across the grid connection pathway, including feasibility inputs, technical strategy, and delivery sequencing.
Regulatory and stakeholder alignment
Regulation and network requirements shape what is viable. Our Advisory Services integrate regulatory constraints and network expectations early, so developers and asset owners avoid later-stage rework.
Constructability, operability and maintainability
Intium draws on decades of engineering and delivery capability and expertise, and our Advisory Services are grounded in what can be built, commissioned, operated and maintained in the real world - reducing lifecycle risk from early-stage decisions.
We tailor Advisory Services engagements to fit the project stage and decision timelines, whether that’s rapid support to unlock a stuck grid pathway or a longer Advisory Services partnership across development.
Many other providers specialise in just one dimension, technical engineering or commercial advisory or regulatory navigation. Intium brings all three together, helping clients identify the least-resistance pathway for successful investment decisions and project delivery outcomes.
Transmission line optimisation (25km route)
Optimising a transmission line route to minimise cost, easement constraints, and social and environmental impacts, supported by early engagement with landowners and communities.
Multi-network battery program support
Advisory support across multiple DNSP networks, spanning the pathway from detailed inquiry through to connection agreement.
GPS studies + grid connection strategy
Supporting GPS studies and connection strategy development, including collaborative engagement with stakeholders such as DNSPs and AEMO.
Flexible load integration and tariff strategy
Identifying tariff strategies and integration methods for flexible loads, balancing technical feasibility, commercial outcomes, and regulatory settings to benefit all parties.
Data Centre power solutions
Exploring integrated supply models (renewables and storage and firming) and the technical and commercial pathway to meet high reliability requirements.
