The combination of dwindling fossil fuel supplies, global climate change, energy security concerns and a rapidly-increasing global demand for energy will foster an increasing reliance on clean renewable energy generation sources. Over 90 percent of the renewable energies used for electricity generation are weather-driven; in other words, they are completely dependent on the weather/climate system for their fuel. So while these sources of renewable energy have the capability to liberate us from our dependence on fossil fuels, they introduce another complicating dependency: the weather. This dependency affects all aspects of weather-driven renewable energy projects: from proper placement to ongoing operation and integration.

Understanding and predicting the weather and climate and its impacts on renewable energy generation is the core of what 3TIER does.

Simply put, 3TIER is an energy efficiency company, providing the core data and knowledge for clients to make the best decisions regarding their investment in a renewable energy generation technology. 3TIER is unique in that it covers all of the weather driven-renewables of wind, solar, and hydro. Using sophisticated computer modeling systems, in-house expertise, and reliable delivery mechanisms it provides the crucial time dependent information required by renewable energy project operators, developers, financiers, marketers, and others.
