Seminar Details
Experts believe that UK energy needs are likely to double by 2050 and that companies have a role to play in generating energy from wind wherever possible. Coupled with the major headache of fluctuating energy prices and the influence of colder winters on pricing, on-site generation from wind appears to be a no-brainer. But why do so many projects fail mid-project?
With [10] years of experience in on-site generation, Chris Porter will discuss the commercial and financial aspects of developing a large-scale wind turbine on your site. Using recent case examples, Chris will discuss how to get your project up and running and give a unique insight into how to overcome the major barriers.
- FINANCIAL RETURNS
Demonstrating a financially viable project
- WIND RESOURCE DATA
What to measure, for how long and the criticality of wind data for financial close and buying your turbine
- FINANCE OPTIONS
The choices available to those with the funds and those without
- BUYING A WIND TURBINE
And you thought that this was the easy part? Think again!
- REACHING COMMERCIAL CLOSE
What agreements do you need in place before you can energise your wind turbine?
- A CASE STUDY
Using a recently closed project as an example. How has the process changed over the years?
Whilst touching on the planning hurdles, this presentation will go a step further and cover support and advice to those starting out on a project and those that are stuck partway down the line.
