SgurrEnergy's performance assessment, or PR review, is an independent evaluation of an operating renewable asset that benchmarks actual generation against expected models and contractual assumptions. By decomposing the shortfall across resource, availability and losses, it identifies, quantifies and explains lost yield — showing owners, lenders and investors how much can realistically be won back.
Why This Service Matters
Performance assessment matters because an operating renewable asset can underperform its energy estimate for years without anyone isolating why, as soiling, availability, degradation, curtailment and measurement error all blur together in the headline numbers. By benchmarking actual generation against the expected performance ratio and decomposing the shortfall, SgurrEnergy shows owners how much yield is being lost, where, and how much of it can be won back.
