The most critical part of planning a renewable energy project is assessing the quantity and variability of the energy resource for the area of interest. Our wind energy assessment models and methodologies are based on advanced technology. We assist our clients to avoid missteps during planning. We maximise project confidence and make projects more bankable in the long run.
The AfriCoast Energy multidisciplinary implementation team carries out a wide range of technical advisory services for renewable energy wind projects. These include:
Solar energy includes thermal and photovoltaic. The same dynamics that affect the success of a wind farm apply to solar energy projects. Planners, developers and owners require accurate energy resource and production estimates to determine the variability of solar energy projects and estimate their return on investment.
AfriCoast Energy’s solar resource assessments consider many independent solar data sources, including satellite and surface-based observation data, to determine the most accurate representation of a site’s solar resource. We also use advanced software tools to create indicative solar energy plant designs, net energy production profiles and gross revenue estimates. This assists our clients to establish accurate project values and understand project risks.
