Vienna, June 4th, 2025 – HYDROGRID has expanded its hydro software solution portfolio with an Investment Simulation module, aimed at enhancing strategic decision-making for asset owners and project developers. One of the first movers under this offering is Norwegian developer CADRE.
The module leverages all features of the HYDROGRID Insight platform, including ‘digital twin’ technology, to simulate investment and operational scenarios under real-life conditions. This innovative approach allows users to visualize and analyze the potential financial outcomes of various investment strategies before implementation, ensuring more informed and effective decision-making. The simulated outcome is interactive and comprehensive, allowing in-depth analysis and exploration of plant operation parameters.
Key Benefits of the Investment Simulation Module
- Quantifying Revenue and Generation Impact: The module enables users to accurately quantify the revenue and generation impact of potential investments such as plant upgrades or operational modifications.
- Strategic Project Prioritization: By evaluating various projects based on their potential impact and profitability, users can allocate resources more effectively and focus on the most promising opportunities.
- Reducing Commercial Risk in M&A Processes: The module reduces commercial risk in mergers and acquisitions (M&A) processes by providing detailed simulations of potential investment outcomes.
- Understanding Regulatory Changes: By simulating different regulatory environments, users can anticipate potential challenges and adjust their strategies accordingly, ensuring compliance and minimizing risks.
“The Investment Simulation module is a game-changer for our clients, providing them with the tools to make informed decisions and optimize their investments,” said Philipp Parrer, Product Director at HYDROGRID. “We are excited to partner with CADRE and bring this innovative solution to the Norwegian market.”
“Using the HYDROGRID Insight platform has been an easy and straightforward experience, and provided us with an outstanding level of detail and interactivity. Already in our first simulation project, we explored how different technologies can increase potential revenue with up to 14.5%, which directly informed our investment decision. This advanced technology will significantly speed up our ability to navigate complex investment decisions ensuring maximum profitability for our partners. ” added Øystein Flåt, Head of Asset Management at CADRE.
