Investors

SgurrEnergy offer an impartial, proactive assessment of any wind farm, irrespective of the stage of development. As one of the most responsive consultancies in the industry we pride ourselves on our track record of delivering essential information that can be defended within the tight timescales demanded by the financial sector. We fully understand the risks of investing in a wind farm. Our robust approach to uncertainty assessment and mitigation measures enables us to provide reliable predictions of P90, P95 and P99 values for wind farm projects. Post investment appraisal confirms our predictions lie within the quoted uncertainty limits. Indeed, predicted production is typically within 5% of actual.

Q7, The World’s First Project Financed Offshore wind farm

SgurrEnergy acted as technical advisor for this 120MW project, located off the coast of the Netherlands, on behalf of a consortium of lenders. We performed the energy yield due diligence and carried out a technology assessment. We also carried out an analysis of long term wind speed trends to get the long term picture for the life of the wind farm and concluded the work with a quantification of the risks. We are ideally suited to carry out these responsibilities as we are 100% independent and provide sound impartial advice based on many years experience.
