SgurrEnergy's resource assessment and energy yield services independently characterise a wind or solar project's resource and translate it into bankable production estimates — validating measurement data, losses, availability and uncertainty to produce the P50/P75/P90 yield figures lenders and investment committees rely on, connected directly to financial model inputs.
Why Resource Assessment and Energy Yield Matters
Resource, yield and uncertainty assumptions directly influence revenue forecasts, debt sizing, valuation, project finance, refinancing and long-term asset performance. SgurrEnergy helps clients understand whether production expectations are technically defensible and aligned with site conditions, technology configuration, losses, availability and operating assumptions.

Resource and Energy Yield Service Portfolio
Eight focused services spanning wind and solar resource, energy yield, uncertainty, performance and loss modelling.
Wind Resource Assessment: Validate wind data, measurement campaigns, long-term correlation, terrain and wake assumptions for bankable wind yield inputs.
Solar Resource Assessment: Review irradiance data, satellite and ground sources, soiling, albedo and long-term resource inputs for solar PV projects.
Energy Yield Assessment: Translate resource, technology and loss assumptions into bankable P50/P75/P90 production estimates.
Long-Term Data Correlation: Correlate measured data with long-term references to reduce uncertainty and strengthen yield assumptions.
Meteo Station Design and Campaign Planning: Plan measurement campaigns so resource data is representative, usable and suitable for bankability review.
Uncertainty Analysis: Quantify resource, modelling, loss and availability uncertainty to clarify downside production risk.
Performance Ratio Assessment: Review PR assumptions and operational performance against expected technical and contractual standards.
Loss Tree Modelling: Develop transparent loss trees reflecting technical losses, availability, degradation and grid constraints.
Typical Client Situations
- A project is being screened for investment or development
- A lender requires independent validation of P50/P75/P90 energy yield
- A developer needs bankable resource and yield inputs for financial close
- An operating asset is underperforming against expected production
- A hybrid or BESS-coupled project requires yield and dispatch-linked assessment

Frequently Asked Questions
Energy yield assessment estimates the expected production of a renewable energy project using resource data, technology configuration, loss assumptions, availability and uncertainty analysis.
Uncertainty analysis helps investors and lenders understand downside production scenarios such as P75 and P90, which can affect revenue, DSCR and bankability.
Yes. SgurrEnergy supports wind and solar resource assessment and connects findings to yield, design, due diligence and financial model requirements.
