Reduce uncertainty and maximise confidence with LR’s assessment

Overview

Despite the growth of renewable energy, it can still be difficult to demonstrate commercial viability at the early stages of development – and uncertainty can be the difference between a “go” and a “no go”. Energy resource assessment services can not only dramatically reduce the uncertainty (and increase confidence) but also help you make decisions from the earliest stages through to operation. We provide services to support developers, owners and operators of renewable projects to understand, value and optimise assets and their financial returns.

What we offer

We offer a full suite of resource assessment services for onshore wind, offshore wind and solar farms, including:

Bankable energy yield assessment
Site prospecting and feasibility assessment
Measurement campaign specification and data monitoring
Site design and optimisation
Complex site modelling (including Computational Fluid Dynamics)
Site conditions assessment
Operational yield assessment
Noise and shadow flicker mitigation
Technical due diligence

What are the benefits?

LR’s energy resource assessment services enable you to reduce uncertainty and maximise confidence by:

Drawing on the expertise of a specialist team, with global experience
Quantifying and communicating the value of the project for investors and banks
Determining which technology will be most competitive and effective for specific site conditions
Identifying opportunities to improve yield through site design
Creating efficiencies by futureproofing design of measurement campaigns
Quantifying the yield impact of site-specific environmental characteristics
Understanding historical performance of assets to inform future yields and optimise returns

Why choose LR?

How well are South African wind farms performing? Analysis of round 1 wind farms.

South Africa is now home to over 25 wind farms with more due to begin generating electricity in the coming months and years. This analysis examines wind farm generation data to assess how well those projects are performing. This allows comparison for project owners and investors to understand how they are operating relative to each other and also international wind farms.
