Albert Van Der Hem, Project Developer, Evelop Netherlands

2007 saw a massive 20GW of new installed capacity for wind energy and the market isn’t set to slow down anytime soon. With such large-scale deployment of wind technology,excellent sites are becoming increasingly scarce. This has the real potential to significantly reduce the bankability of your new projects and curtail your profits. Furthermore, choosing the wrong site can cost your company millions of Euros. As such, it is now critical that you improve your knowledge of wind resource, grid access, government incentives and how to tackle radar conflicts so you can ensure the long term success of your company.

MINIMISE CAPITAL AT RISK

“Site selection can cost you €millions if it goes wrong, and save you €millions if it goes right” according to experienced Project Developer, Albert Van Der Hem from Ecofys Netherlands. Securing the right site and fully exploiting its wind resource is critical to the long term profitability of your business. If you secure an excellent site with sufficient grid capacity and fully exploit its wind resource, you will guarantee that your business guarantees long term profits the power you generate. However, select the wrong site or fail to fully exploit wind resource and you will significantly limit the generating capacity and resultant profit while your competitors race ahead.

So, what better time to find out what new onshore and offshore opportunities are still available in Denmark, where the most profitable site opportunities are located in Bulgaria, how to tap into the lucrative Turkish market, and how to ensure that you fully exploit wind resource whether your farm is onshore or offshore? The answer is; there is no better time, no better place, and no better group of experts to guide you every step of the way. The European Wind Farm Site Selection Summit is the meeting place for site developers so make sure you book your place to ensure you get the inside track and don’t let your competitors stay ahead of your game.
