Exceedence

What Exceedence does

Exceedence Ltd. is an Irish private software and services company founded in 2015 and headquartered in Cork, with additional offices in Dublin and Belfast. The company specialises in techno-financial modelling for the renewable energy sector, with deep domain expertise in offshore wind, floating offshore wind, wave, tidal, offshore aquaculture, power-to-X, and floating PV. It serves project developers, investors and funders, technology innovators, government agencies, and consultancies by producing integrated technical and financial analyses — including LCOE, IRR, NPV, and digital twin performance comparisons — that support design optimisation, cost reduction pathway identification, due diligence, and de-risking of renewable energy investments.

The company's core product is Exfin, a cloud-based techno-financial modelling platform built to IEC standards that assimilates technical performance data (power curves, resource data, engineering inputs) and cost data to produce financial digital twins of renewable energy projects. Exfin contains a proprietary ExceedenceFinance calculation engine and includes the Exceedence Compare module, which benchmarks modelled, expected, and actual performance from portfolio level down to individual turbine assets. Exceedence has also jointly developed OptiWave with Wood, combining Exfin with the Flexcom Wave engineering simulator for wave energy optimisation, and lists Exfin on the global Microsoft Azure Marketplace.

Exceedence operates a hybrid revenue model spanning three streams: direct techno-financial consultancy engagements (hourly, day-rate, or multi-year competitively-priced contracts); subscription-based Exfin software licensing delivered through the Microsoft Azure Marketplace and direct sales; and revenue from participation in grant-funded collaborative R&D programmes including Horizon 2020/Europe, Interreg North-West Europe, SEAI, Innovate UK, Marine Institute, Wave Energy Scotland, and Climate KIC. Distribution is sales-led through government expert frameworks (SEAI Lot 10 Offshore Renewables, DECC PAS126F Lot 2), direct enterprise sales, consortia participation with partners such as INNOSEA, Wood, and MaREI, and the Microsoft partnership channel. The company has 5-10 employees and serves a base of 90+ clients across the developer community.
