Repowering an existing wind farm is a strategic way to extend the lifetime of a wind farm, increase electricity production, and ensure compliance with regulations. We support wind farm owners and operators throughout the entire repowering journey, from a preliminary feasibility assessment to full permitting, ensuring a smooth and well-managed repowering process.
Feasibility Assessment
A feasibility assessment provides a clear understanding of whether repowering is technically, environmentally, and commercially viable. The phase includes an assessment of site constraints as we evaluate the operational environment and regulatory limitations of the existing wind farm site, market screening of suitable turbine types and discussions with local authorities that help ensure the project aligns with the local planning requirements and that unnecessary delays later in the process are avoided.
Permitting Process
When the feasibility studies indicate that repowering is a viable option, we can manage the full permitting process to enable a timely and compliant repowering project. If new land lease agreement arrangements are required, we can support the process. Depending on the requirements of the project, the permitting package may include, for instance, a dismantling permit inclusive of, for instance, a dismantling and waste management plan, deviation permit, and building permit, as well as efficient stakeholder communication throughout the process.
Additional Support Services
We offer a broad range of support services through in‑house expertise and partner network as an extension to the permitting process. These include, for instance, land lease agreement matters, turbine procurement processes and support for dismantling and decommissioning of the existing wind farm site.
