Wind rewards patience and punishes assumption. The difference between a site that clears its hurdle rate and one that limps is usually half a meter per second of mean wind speed — a margin you cannot see without measuring, and cannot recover once the turbines are up.
We run measurement campaigns before we run financial models. A met mast or a ground-based lidar unit records for a minimum of twelve months, ideally twenty-four, and the record is correlated to a long-term reference to produce a wind index. Only then does a turbine layout make sense: rotor diameter, hub height and spacing all fall out of the measured shear profile and turbulence intensity, not out of a catalog.
Wake losses, curtailment for noise or shadow flicker, and icing in colder climates all come off the gross yield. We show you the loss stack line by line, because a developer who presents only a net figure is hiding where the risk sits.
Blade logistics have stopped more onshore projects than planning objections. Measure the corners on the access road before you sign the turbine order.
Offshore work brings geotechnical campaigns, foundation design, cable route surveys and vessel availability into the critical path. Installation windows are weather-limited and booked years ahead. We build the schedule backward from vessel availability and treat everything else as float.
A wind farm earns most of its return in the second decade, which makes operations strategy a financing question. We negotiate service agreements against measured availability, install condition monitoring on the drivetrain from day one, and keep a data feed independent of the turbine supplier so that warranty claims rest on your numbers rather than theirs. Where repowering becomes viable, the measurement record you built at the start is what makes the case.
