Revenue model

1. Project Development and Sale: FRV develops utility-scale renewable energy projects from greenfield through financial close and construction. Projects may be sold to IPPs or co-investors after development, or retained for long-term ownership.
2. Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs): Long-term contracts (typically 15-25 years) with offtakers (utilities, tech companies, governments) for sale of renewable energy generated by owned assets. Primary recurring revenue stream from owned portfolio.
3. Asset Management Services: 360-degree asset management services including technical support, performance analysis, monitoring, reporting to investors and clients, stakeholder management, and O&M supervision.
4. Operation and Maintenance (O&M): End-to-end O&M services for solar and wind farms including monitoring, preventive/corrective maintenance, spare parts management, warranty claims, module cleaning, weed management, and HVAC.
5. Energy Storage as a Service (EnSaaS): FRV-X's model providing AI-controlled energy storage systems to C&I customers on a service basis, reducing their carbon footprint and energy costs without upfront capital expenditure.
