Wind power is our other main field of expertise. Wind power is becoming an increasingly mature industry although many development activities are still in progress. Although the industry is getting more and more competitive, growth rates are still high and many countries have favourable incentive schemes, offering good investment opportunities. Due to its size, the market is especially interesting to large investors.
We primarily work with projects having a project budget of at least 50 million Euros. This is because the projects in our key geographical areas - notably Southern Europe - typically are large, as compared to e.g. Germany and the Nordic countries.
However, based on our network of direct contacts to well established developers we will be able to identify high quality projects according to most specifications.
Usually, we start the definition of a project by the investor. Together with the investor we define the project specifications at the general level. Thereafter, we search for a suitable set of project permits. Having found this, we involve the other project partners: Financing bank, developer, EPC contractor, hardware suppliers, lawyer, auditor, etc.
On some occasions, we identify development projects or wind power plants already in operation that represent a direct investment opportunity. In this case we have a framework for fast evaluation and due diligence that can form the basis for carrying through the investment.
In any case, we work with the investment until it is completed and accepted by the investor according to a set of predefined acceptance criteria.
We can also arrange O&M as well as technical and commercial management of the plant.
