Strategic Positioning

SEC has developed a unique business model and strategic plan based on:

Blended "Best-Fit" Solutions
There is a diverse range of technology companies marketing limited solutions with their own proprietary products. In most cases, a reliance on one technology cannot fully address the opportunities and constraints of widely varying conditions in distinct regions.

SEC draws value from several technology partners and develops innovative logistical models to provide optimized integrated solutions. Deep analyses of the real options in technology, project scale, deal structure, financing and revenue streams challenge the prevailing approach of "one-size fits all" with a drive for the "best-fit".

Cross-Market Arbitrage
Blended technology and logistics solutions allow SEC to bridge the traditional sectoral limits of both the energy and waste management industries. Combining the revenue streams of these markets into common projects brings new optionality and flexibility.

This cross-sectoral arbitrage is further enhanced by geographic arbitrage, extending a multi-faceted deal structure into an enriched revenue stream matrix. SEC is able to leverage this strategy for both technical expedience and maximized financial benefit.

Fixed Long-Term Financials
Waste management and energy markets are predisposed to favour long-term certainty of supply and service. This supports a pattern of long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs) and waste management tipping fee agreements with terms of 15 to 20 years.

SEC builds on this revenue format with a preference for fixed-price or cost-plus construction and long-term, fixed-price O&M. Locking long-term certainty into the major cost and revenue components, and the generally strong credit conditions for the sectors, further supports SEC’s solid financial forecasting and preferential project financing.

Developer Leadership
As lead developer, SEC can maintain maximum choice of technology, logistics and deal structures, and retains the future-oriented optionality to expand on anchor projects.

In a market with high expectations of growth and consolidation, SEC intends to expand an owner-operator position for considerable long-term value.
