You’ve outgrown manual reporting. Here's how renewable leaders are leveling up

If you're managing a renewable energy portfolio, you probably spend more time than you’d like putting reports together.  

Each month, asset management teams spend 20 to 40 hours building reports from several disconnected systems, each housing critical data: commercial incidents, open tasks, compliance records, insurance and warranty claims, generation performance, grid data, spare parts inventory, and contractual obligations.  

Year-end reports can take even longer, tying up multiple team members for weeks. The findings are essential to managing the business, but it comes at a steep cost.  

The unseen toll of manual reporting 

 
For companies managing large-scale renewable energy portfolios, the manual reporting process doesn’t just eat up time. It also slows down operations and can quietly rack up costs. 

In one case, a mid-sized independent power producer found they were spending over 400 hours a year formatting spreadsheets, gathering data from different tools, and sorting out version issues. Once you factor in extra labor, delayed decisions, and time spent fixing errors, the cost climbed to more than $200,000 annually. 

When reports are built manually and systems aren’t connected, mistakes are inevitable. Data pulled from fragmented systems and reworked by multiple team members increases the risk of entry errors, inconsistencies, and outdated information making it into final reports. 

These seemingly small issues can snowball across the portfolio, eroding confidence in the data, slowing down response times, and limiting the ability to scale.

Here’s what that looks like in practice:  

• Version issues and inconsistent formatting –Tracking the latest spreadsheet version is a job in itself. Formatting varies by person or team, which makes reports hard to compare and slows down reviews. 

• Decision-making bottlenecks – It can take days, or longer, to get reports out the door. That means key stakeholders are delayed in their decisions or forced to make them in the dark. 

• Scaling issues – As portfolios expand, manual processes stretch thin. Reporting takes more time and more people, even though the output stays the same. 

Over time, these problems chip away at team efficiency, decision speed, and stakeholder trust.  

What if reporting just worked?  

No more siloed data. No formatting issues. No wondering if you’re looking at the latest version of the file.
