The Challenge
The biggest challenge for us was to understand the subtleties of the niche segment within Energy finance that CEEW-CEF practised in. Secondly, we had to heavily rely on the inputs received from CEEW- CEF team, as we didn't get direct access to the actual users.
Another challenge for us was to keep the data visualization interfaces extremely intuitive and devoid of clutter to empower the end-users for making quick and informed decisions.
Overview
CEEW-CEF acts as a non-partisan market observer and driver that monitors, develops, tests, and deploys financial solutions to advance the energy transition. It aims to help deepen markets, increase transparency, and attract capital in clean energy sectors in emerging economies. The CEEW Centre for Energy Finance (CEF) is an initiative of the Council on Energy, Environment, and Water. (CEEW) is one of Asia’s leading think tanks.
Define
Before proceeding with the design, we conducted comprehensive research on business and user objectives.
CEEW-CEF team assisted us in gaining an in-depth understanding of their ecosystem and provided relevant documentation that helped us understand their business model, data sets, user journey, etc.
The team helped us to decipher the web app, domain, and the users precisely.
CEEW - CEF wanted to enhance the experience of its end users by offering digital, intuitive data visualizations to enhance usability and functionality of the web application for the end-users. We also redesigned a few pages of their website
Design
The visual language for the tools and the website is very simple and follows close design guidelines for its branding. Since the web app users are data scientists, investors, Clean Energy conservatives, Finance the government of India, the web app has been designed with minimum distractions and is on the point; the idea is to have the users waste absolutely no time and get what they want.
The platform is extremely data and number heavy, hence, you will find a lot of white spaces and easy to understand tables and charts. The whole Web app has extremely simple iconography for increased relevance and a guided tour on the steps to be taken on the platform. For the tools, the data visualization is made extremely simple; charts give a quick overview of the statistics that matter to the users within seconds.
Open Access - The tool helps RE project developers and corporate (commercial & industrial) electricity consumers to determine open access charges and landed tariffs for different states under various scenarios.
EV Dashboard - Up to date information and key trends in India's electric mobility market for relevant stakeholders including policymakers, regulators, investors, industry and consumers.
