Pre-construction wind energy assessment

Validated pre-construction wind farm energy output predictions help you mitigate risk and build confidence in your project among prospective partners and customers.

When inviting financing for a wind energy project, prospective partners need confidence in the farm’s predicted capability. The same is true when trying to sell power to a utility. In both cases, the evidence provided by an independent, pre-construction wind energy assessment plays a crucial role. 

The evidence you need

DNV’s energy assessment service provides you with this evidence. It predicts, with a defined degree of confidence, the probability that your project will achieve a certain energy output for a given year or over its complete lifetime. 

Predictions are based on measured site information such as the average energy production (P50) as well as confidence intervals to provide a measure of the estimate’s reliability. After the assessment, you receive a bankable energy assessment report providing impartial evidence of the analysis and its results.

Highly flexible, the service can be tailored to your specific needs.
