The Technical Due Diligence Process

We underpin project financing with a completely independent rigorous evaluation of contract, wind resource, legal, insurance and technical project risks.

This Technical Due Diligence process includes:

• A full analysis of wind resource and energy, wind turbine track record, certification and site suitability.

• A contracts review including connection, construction and operation contracts and warranties.

• Advice on planning and building permits, capital costs and operating budgets, infrastructure design and geotechnical and environmental issues.

• Site construction, warranty testing and long term operational monitoring.
