SgurrEnergy

SgurrEnergy's wind resource assessment is an independent evaluation of a wind project's measured data, long-term climate adjustment and terrain and wake assumptions. Reviewing met mast or LiDAR campaigns, it produces the bankable P50/P75/P90 energy yield inputs and uncertainty analysis that lenders, investors, developers and acquirers require before financing, design or acquisition.

Why This Service Matters

SgurrEnergy evaluates wind data, met mast or LiDAR campaigns, long-term correlation, terrain effects, wake assumptions and energy production inputs to support development, financing and acquisition decisions.

When This Service Is Needed

  • A wind project needs independent production inputs
  • A lender requires validation of wind data and long-term adjustment
  • A developer needs resource evidence before design or financing
  • An acquisition requires review of the seller’s wind yield assumptions

How SgurrEnergy Helps

Establishes the technical basis for the assessment.

Reviews available data, project assumptions and information gaps.

Applies bankability-focused methodology and documents assumptions clearly.

Translates findings into client decisions around finance, design, procurement, acquisition or operations.
