为Vena Energy推动变革性的财务和项目计划

亚太可再生能源领导者建立预算,巩固数百个实体,并准确跟踪数十个资本项目,以改善业务绩效

As a renewable energy developer experiencing rapid growth in the Asia-Pacific region, Vena Energy needed a platform that enabled it to consolidate hundreds of business entities and build annual budgets more efficiently. Using Anaplan, the company’s processes were transformed: monthly consolidations are complete in days, annual budgets are built in weeks, and dozens of capital projects are monitored with precision. Anaplan HyperModels support rapid growth by giving planners the detailed, historical data they need in a fraction of the time to power better business performance.

作为一个可再生能源开发商在亚太地区的快速增长,Vena Energy需要一个平台,使其能够巩固数百个业务实体并更有效地建立年度预算。使用Anaplan,该公司的流程进行了改造:每月合并在几天内完成,年度预算是在数周内建立的,并且数十个资本项目被精确监控。Anaplan Hypermodels通过为计划者提供详细的历史数据来支持快速增长,以便在很短的时间内为更好的业务绩效提供动力。

业务实体共享一个财务计划平台,以支持不断增长的企业的一致性


As a leading Independent Power Producer (IPP) of renewable energy in the Asia-Pacific region, Vena Energy has enjoyed double-digit growth in energy generation, revenue, and EBITDA. To support its next stage of expansion, Vena Energy needed to transform its financial processes on a new technology platform to meet the growth.

The company had taken an initial implementation with Anaplan and realized that the platform was ideal for the project. The raw data, definitions, and structure were normalized and imported into Anaplan, and a unified asset register was created to track Vena Energy’s renewable energy projects across eight jurisdictions.

Start in core finance, then expand

The team at Vena Energy then built core financial planning and analysis (FP&A) and consolidations models on that data foundation, and later extended their use of Anaplan beyond finance to include a human resources model for headcount and compensation forecasting, as well as tracking models for sustainability and health and safety data. “Anaplan enables us to track key metrics and performance indicators at a glance, which facilitates the deployment of vital resources where they are needed the most,” said Sam Ong, Vena Energy’s Chief Finance Officer.

They also created a project planning model for the many capital projects that fuel Vena Energy’s growth. Across the Asia-Pacific region, Vena Energy owns and maintains 58 operating solar and wind energy projects, in addition to more than 30 renewable energy projects under construction and more than 100 projects in the development pipeline. For each project, Vena Energy tracks progress over time against the budget in Anaplan. Planners know when a project will begin contributing to revenue; they also can understand the financial impacts when a project gets behind schedule or approaches budget limits and recommend immediate corrective action.

The project planning model also tracks project insurance premiums and claims—critical levers for risk mitigation when projects cost tens of millions of dollars—and allocates human resources using a heat map to balance resources and utilities. “With Anaplan, we have a complete and accurate picture of our capital projects, no matter where they are in development,” Ong says.

Explosive data growth calls for HyperModels

\r\n

With this rich data on the Anaplan platform, Vena Energy’s monthly consolidation time dropped significantly. But a new challenge arose: the consolidations model quickly became very large, and the workarounds that kept the model size manageable reduced data granularity and availability.

\r\n

In response, the Vena Energy team adopted HyperModels, Anaplan’s large-model technology. This enabled Vena Energy to add hierarchies, list items, and subgroups, along with an additional year of historical data, to its financial models. The conversion was completed in days without altering model structure or logic. “HyperModels are really helpful and save us a lot of time,” Ong says. “It’s been key to supporting Vena Energy’s growth.”

\r\n

Data is now more accessible, and more useful. Vena Energy’s corporate and country managers consume data in Anaplan using Microsoft Power BI, so they can visualize how projects and assets are performing compared to plan.

作为亚太地区可再生能源的领先独立电力生产者(IPP),烯腔能量享有两位数的增长rgy generation, revenue, and EBITDA. To support its next stage of expansion, Vena Energy needed to transform its financial processes on a new technology platform to meet the growth.

该公司已与Anaplan进行了初步实施,并意识到该平台非常适合该项目。将原始数据,定义和结构标准化并进口到Anaplan中,并创建了一个统一的资产登记册,以跟踪Vena Energy在八个司法管辖区的可再生能源项目。

从核心金融开始,然后扩展

The team at Vena Energy then built core financial planning and analysis (FP&A) and consolidations models on that data foundation, and later extended their use of Anaplan beyond finance to include a human resources model for headcount and compensation forecasting, as well as tracking models for sustainability and health and safety data. “Anaplan enables us to track key metrics and performance indicators at a glance, which facilitates the deployment of vital resources where they are needed the most,” said Sam Ong, Vena Energy’s Chief Finance Officer.

他们还为许多推动Vena Energy增长的资本项目创建了项目计划模型。在整个亚太地区,Vena Energy拥有并维护58个运营的太阳能和风能项目,除了30多个正在建设的可再生能源项目以及开发管道中的100多个项目。对于每个项目,Vena Energy在Anaplan的预算上都会跟踪进度。计划者知道一个项目何时开始为收入做出贡献;当项目落后于计划或遵守预算限制并建议立即采取纠正措施时,他们还可以理解财务影响。

项目规划模型还跟踪项目保险费和索赔(当项目成本成千上万美元时的风险降低范围至关重要),并使用热图分配人力资源来平衡资源和公用事业。亚搏娱乐电子Ong说:“有了Anaplan,无论它们在哪里开发,我们都可以完整,准确地了解我们的资本项目。”

超模的爆炸性数据增长调用

借助Anaplan平台上的丰富数据,Vena Energy的每月合并时间大大下降。但是出现了一个新的挑战:合并模型迅速变得非常大,并且可以使模型大小保持可管理的降低数据粒度和可用性的解决方法。

作为回应,Vena能源团队采用了Anaplan的大型模型技术Hypermodels。这使腔静脉能量能够添加层次结构,列出项目和子组,以及其他一年的历史数据,以增加其财务模型。转换在几天内完成,而不改变模型结构或逻辑。“超级名模确实很有帮助,并节省了很多时间,” Ong说。“这是支持Vena Energy增长的关键。”

数据现在更容易访问,更有用。Vena Energy的公司和国家经理使用Microsoft Power BI在Anaplan中消耗数据,因此他们可以看到与计划相比的项目和资产的性能。
