Making a difference to project developers

Our experience of wind farm implementation allied to a broad understanding of the supply chain places us a strong position to smooth the path of wind farm development.

 


Our work in supporting the development of the UK wind supply chain puts us in a unique position to identify for developers the “best of British” suppliers. In the offshore sector specifically we have a detailed understanding of potential coastal construction bases.

 

Through our knowledge of wind turbines and development, we take a staged approach to assess and develop wind generation projects whether they are a single medium sized turbine, or a large wind farm.  We will take a project from inception through planning and build-out to operation.

 

Whatever the potential scale, we give you a quick view on suitability and if we think your site has some potential for at least one appropriately sized medium sized wind turbine, we will propose a staged approach: starting with a desktop feasibility study.

 
We provide:
•    Technical due diligence on turbine manufacturers
•    Supply chain advice and networks
•    Advice on technological and market trends
•    Feasibility studies

 

We undertook due diligence on a top tier turbine manufacturer for a major developer. We gave a comprehensive technical analysis of the company’s turbine range, its R&D capability and the service it provides its customers. 

 

We helped a UK major renewable energy company to create and implement an approach to secure the supply of suitable wind turbines into its project pipeline.
