Investment funds management

This is a technical consultancy whose goal is to advise on the purchase of renewable energy production plants. This involves analysing and verifying whether the project fits the relevant procedural and technical requirements in order to establish the sustainability of the initiative.

The objective of a due diligence for a renewable energy plant entails the following aspects:

• on-site control of technical and environmental aspects, with particular reference to access roads and internal routes, plant layout, project technology, environmental and landscape restrictions, connection to the electricity grid
• in the case of wind farms, on-site monitoring of the anemometers used for the measurement campaigns (position, type, height, sensor heights, arms orientation, compliance with technical regulations) and verification of the presence of any other anemometers in the area that can be used for correlations
• verification of the authorization  (relevant legislation, applications submitted to the administrative bodies, authorizations and qualifications obtained, connection to the electricity grid)
• review of available technical documentation and existing contracts
• re-elaboration of the data used as a basis for the project, i.e. wind history data (wind farms), agro-industrial chains (biomass plants), site characteristics and sun irradiation (photovoltaic systems)
• verification of  installable electrical power and energy production
• review of the business plan and recalculation of the financial indices
• verification of the completion of the documentation regarding the aspects above illustrated
• identification of the critical aspects of the project.
