Resource Assessments

We provide a range of resource assessment solutions to analyze a site’s precise wind climate, both onshore and offshore.

This is essential to:

Optimize wind farm design (micro-siting) by taking into account wind speed and orientation to avoid losses
Select suited turbines for a site and its wind climate and minimize risk of legal disputes
Secure financing with bankable reports on farm potential
Prepare solid business plans and ensure profitability of wind investments.
