3TIER Is Ranked on Deloitte's Technology Fast 500™ for Fourth Consecutive Year

3TIER®, a global leader in renewable energy risk analysis, today announced it has been recognized for continued strong business growth and its commitment to sustainability. For the fourth consecutive year, 3TIER was ranked on Deloitte's Technology Fast 500™. 3TIER also made its debut in the 2012 Seattle Business Journal Green Seattle Awards as an award winner in the Technology/Clean Tech category.

3TIER utilizes cutting-edge science, big data, and massive computing resources to accurately forecast utility scale wind and solar power – for the next five minutes through the next 30 years. Weather and climate are inherently variable. 3TIER enables our clients to systematically measure and reduce the uncertainty of this variability. Not only does this improve the return on investment for individual wind and solar energy projects, it also provides a critical ingredient for renewable energy to be competitive as a sustainable global energy supply.

3TIER CEO, Craig Husa, remarked, “In times of increasing costs of capital, competitive energy prices, and complex climate signals, 3TIER’s scientific approach toward systematically measuring and reducing uncertainty is crucial for the competitiveness of renewable energy. 3TIER has embraced our client’s demand for a comprehensive approach towards managing renewable energy risk. As a result our services are more in-demand today than at any time in our history.”

“The companies on the Fast 500 list are among those that have demonstrated remarkable innovation, creativity and business savvy,” said Bill Ribaudo partner, Deloitte & Touche LLP and national TMT leader for audit and enterprise risk services (AERS). “As a result, these companies have continued to successfully forge ahead in a challenging economic environment. We applaud the leadership and employees of 3TIER for this impressive accomplishment.” The Deloitte Technology Fast 500 is based on five-year revenue growth and is exclusively focused on the fastest-growing technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences, and clean technology companies in North America.
