What the Advisory Covers
We tailor scope to the asset and the situation, drawing on the relevant operational, engineering and commercial disciplines across our teams.
Operational audits
Independent operational review of an asset to identify performance, reliability, O&M and governance improvement opportunities.
Performance assessment
Independent assessment of whether the asset is performing against expected yield, availability and contractual assumptions.
Root-cause analysis
Diagnosis of the technical, operational or design causes behind underperformance, failures, outages or recurring defects.
Availability and reliability review
Review of availability, downtime drivers and reliability risks to improve operational continuity and production confidence.
Performance-improvement roadmap
A structured roadmap to recover lost performance, improve reliability and prioritise corrective actions across the asset.
Post-commissioning review
An early operational review after commissioning to verify the asset is performing as expected and ready for stable operations.
Life-extension advisory
Technical advisory on whether an asset can safely and economically operate beyond its original design or contract life.
Refinancing technical review
Independent technical review of an operating asset to support refinancing, debt restructuring, sale or portfolio valuation.

Frequently Asked Questions
It is an independent technical review of an operating renewable energy asset or portfolio that assesses performance, yield, availability, reliability and root causes of underperformance, so owners, investors and lenders can recover lost generation and protect long-term value.
It is typically carried out when performance is below expectations, when downtime or recurring failures affect production, after commissioning, before refinancing, acquisition or sale, or as an asset approaches design life, PPA renewal or a repowering decision.
SgurrEnergy provides asset performance advisory across wind, solar PV, battery energy storage, hydro and hybrid renewable energy assets.
Findings are presented as a structured report that quantifies performance loss where possible and sets out a prioritised improvement roadmap with practical recommendations, including any technical inputs relevant to refinancing or a transaction.
