COMPANY OVERVIEW

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: we provide the core
data and knowledge for clients to make the best decisions regarding
their investment in a renewable energy generation technology. We use
sophisticated computer modeling systems, in-house expertise and
reliable delivery mechanisms to forecast both the short-term
intermittency and the long-term availability of renewable energy. We
provide utility-scale, scientifically based assessment and forecast
products and services to our clients. Founded in 1999, 3TIER is a
privately-held, equal opportunity employer based in Seattle, WA with
offices around the world.
