Feasibility

Our site screening guidance and feasibility studies provide a full-scope preliminary view on a project’s potential and profitability to help during site prospection, to better compare site alternatives and to identify suitable technical and financial guidelines for your wind farm.

  • Screen a site or select an optimal wind measurement site location with regional wind maps and preliminary assessments.
  • Understand a site’s possibilities and analyze a project’s potential.

Site Mapping

Full scope assessments which include overviews of

  • Spatial planning legislation and constraints
  • Grid connection options
  • Environmental constraints
  • Landscape issues
  • Infrastructure possibilities
  • Legal and administrative framework

Grid Integration Quick Scans

Lead time for wind farm grid connections can be from 14 months (offshore)
up to 26 months (onshore) on average in Europe, according to the latest
WindBarriers survey by EWEA. This is why 3E integrates grid thinking in early project phases and provides targeted services for efficient grid planning.

  • Overviews of grid integration options with technical and financial assessments.
  • Cost-effective grid connection proposals with high operational performance, based on 3E constraint mapping and preliminary resource assessments.

Risk Assessments

For preliminary insight on project profitability

Our full picture assessments include:

  • Long term yield estimates based on wind resource assessments
  • Independent financial evaluation/development of business plans
  • Evaluation and estimate of financial risks
  • Technical risk and safety analyses
  • Market valuation of electricity including green electricity support schemes and /or
    CO2 reduction certificates.
