SgurrEnergy's onshore wind advisory and engineering gives developers, investors and lenders independent judgement on the key risks that affect onshore wind projects. It supports the situations that typically call for expert technical review, helping clients advance onshore wind from feasibility through construction on a sound basis.
Key Onshore Wind Risks
Construction quality
Operational performance
Wind resource uncertainty
Measurement review, long-term correlation, uncertainty assessment and yield validation.
Micrositing and wake losses
Terrain and access
Typical Client Situations
A developer is evaluating the feasibility of a new onshore wind site.
An investor requires independent technical due diligence before acquisition.
A lender needs confidence in resource, yield, grid and construction assumptions.
An owner needs design and engineering support for BoP, civil works, electrical systems or WTG foundations.
An EPC contractor requires engineering support for wind farm infrastructure packages.
An operating wind farm is underperforming and requires root cause review.
An ageing wind asset is being evaluated for repowering or life extension.
Typical Deliverables
