Frequently Asked Questions
It is an independent technical review of a renewable energy project or portfolio that assesses resource and yield, design, technology, grid, contracts, construction and environmental and social aspects, so investors and lenders can understand technical risk before committing capital.
It is typically carried out ahead of an acquisition, financial close or investment committee decision, and can also support refinancing, sell-side preparation or a periodic independent review of an operating asset.
SgurrEnergy provides technical due diligence across wind, solar PV, battery energy storage, hydro and hybrid renewable energy projects.
