Technical Advisory
Technical Due Diligence for Renewable Energy Projects
Independent technical clarity for bankable renewable energy decisions.
Why This Service Matters
Technical due diligence protects capital before commitments are made. It tests whether a project’s technical assumptions, design basis, grid position, contracts, permits, resource data, construction status and operational expectations are credible enough to support investment, lending or acquisition decisions.
When This Service Is Needed
- Before investment committee or board approval
- During project finance, refinancing or portfolio review
- Before acquiring a project, platform or operating asset
- When a data room requires independent technical validation
- Before entering EPC, PPA, O&M or grid-related commitments
- When hidden design, grid, land, yield, contract or construction risks may affect valuation
How SgurrEnergy Helps
- Reviews project documentation, resource and yield assumptions, grid connection status, design basis, permits, contracts, technology selection, construction readiness and O&M assumptions.
- Identifies material gaps, unvalidated assumptions and risks that may affect cost, schedule, energy generation, bankability or asset value.
- Translates technical findings into clear risk registers, decision summaries and investor/lender-ready reports.

Frequently Asked Questions
Technical due diligence is an independent technical review of a renewable energy project to assess risks, assumptions, design, grid readiness, contracts, yield, permitting and bankability before investment, financing, acquisition or major commitment.
Investors, lenders, developers, IPPs, infrastructure funds, DFIs and asset owners use technical due diligence to understand project risk and validate assumptions before committing capital or financing.
SgurrEnergy reviews resource, yield, technology, design, grid, contracts, land, permitting, construction status, O&M assumptions, quality risks and technical inputs to the financial model.
It validates the assumptions behind revenue, cost, risk and performance forecasts, helping investors and lenders understand whether the project is technically credible and financeable.
SgurrEnergy combines independent judgement, bankability focus, multidisciplinary engineering, grid expertise, site intelligence and lifecycle experience to identify risks that may otherwise remain hidden.
