Turbine Selection and Procurement
Turbine procurement is one of the most important aspect of
wind energy development. Turbines may represent up to 80%
of the capital cost of a windfarm and their reliability and
long term power output are crucial to the financial performance
of the project.
It is important to secure not only an acceptable price, but
also the right guarantees, delivery and performance bonds
and specific guarantees on
aspects of performance governed by planning conditions, such
as noise. All such aspects need to be closely tied in with
the requirements of
financing institutions.
Wind Prospect can advise on or manage all aspects of the procurement
process. We have long standing contacts with all the major
manufacturers.
Project Management and Turnkey Projects
Wind Prospect undertakes full project management or provides
a turnkey arrangement, as circumstances require. We have a
substantial track
record, with management of 13 sites from Australia, Ireland,
mainland Britain and the Shetland Islands.
Management includes all aspects of a project, including procurement,
contract letting, contract and site management. Full or partial
turnkey packages can be put together rapidly and cost effectively,
using national or local contractors.
Environmental Management
Wind Prospect Australia has internal expertise in Environmental
Management, ensuring environmental interests during the construction
phase are correctly managed through their Construction Environmental
Management Programme, and Construction Environmental Management
Plans.
