We are developing solar pv from green field and all the way through the construction and into operation.

After the Final Investment Decision is taken, we typically divest up to 80% of the project and keep the
commercial and technical management including the provision of power trading and balancing services.

Development Timeline

Site Screening & Market Assessment

The process begins with site screening, where we identify and assess potential locations based on several conditions such as grid availability, permitting outlook, land access, and commercial viability. If a site is deemed feasible, our team secures land lease agreements, bringing the project into the second phase which is development.

For solar PV projects, our sweet spot is above 50 MW. Leveraging years of successful development experience, we put significant effort into siting projects in locations with a high likelihood of success.

Project development

During development, our team works to shape the project’s design, conduct comprehensive feasibility studies, and proactively engage stakeholders. In addition to this, the application for grid connection is submitted, and initiation of the permitting process. This phase serves as the basis upon which our projects are built, ensuring that all regulatory and community considerations are addressed and heard.

Maturation

When the project has secured the necessary permits and grid connection, it reaches ready-to-build status and enters the maturation phase. At this stage, we finalise the selection of type and size of solar panels, the technical-design, initiate the procurement of key components, and pledge commercial activities such as project financing or partnership discussions.

Execution

Once a project is matured enough to reach the final investment decision, it moves into the execution phase where the construction is undertaken. Here, our team oversees the construction process, working closely with contractors and suppliers to ensure the project is delivered safely, on time, and within budget.

Operation

After commissioning and achieving commercial operation, the project transitions into operation. Depending on the asset type, our team may continue to manage performance directly or work with operators and power traders to optimise generation and market participation. This final stage is where the full value of the project is realised through active management, trading strategies, and ongoing optimization. We are investing in internal optimization tools designed to enhance the operational performance of our assets. These systems allow us to make better, faster decisions around dispatch, maintenance, and trading, with a purpose of maximizing value throughout the asset lifecycle.

Project development

Further development of the projects include various feasibility studies and environmental impact assessments to determine the technical, environmental, and financial visibility of the project. Project-specific environmental assessments are completed to evaluate potential environmental impacts of the renewable energy source, assessing the potential impact on marine life, birds, and other wildlife, as well as the impact on local communities and the surrounding environment.

Maturation

When the project has secured the necessary permits and grid connection, it reaches ready-to-build status and enters the maturation phase. At this stage, we finalise the type and size of wind turbines, designing the foundation, as well as developing the electrical system and infrastructure and logistical set up.

Once a project is matured enough to reach the final investment decision, it moves into the execution phase where the construction is undertaken. Here, our team oversees the construction process, working closely with contractors and suppliers to ensure the project is delivered safely, on time, and within budget.

The projects are constructed with strong foundations to withstand the forces of nature while efficiently capturing the power of the wind at seas.

Site Screening & Market Assessment

Initiating a battery storage project involves ensuring proximity to the grid’s transmission level, with a screening process initiated with grid operators to assess available capacity. Site suitability for both local residents and the municipality is paramount. Upon municipality approval and the prospect of a viable grid connection, the project can seamlessly progress to the next phase.

Maturation

When the project has secured the necessary permits and grid connection, it reaches ready-to-build status and enters the maturation phase. At this stage, we finalise the selection of battery storage technology and sizing of the plant in close collaboration with grid experts and traders.

Execution

We carry out construction in close collaboration with battery suppliers and contractors, carefully coordinating all elements and managing the interfaces to ensure seamless integration.

Projects are integrated into the power grid, supporting the grid to enable more renewables power and that way Storage plays a crucial role in achieving additional renewable generation in constraint grids with minimal grid buildout.

Operation

With the completion of the construction phase, projects enter the operation phase. The projects are operated through a central control system that optimizes storage and power flows helping stabilize and balance the grid.

This final stage is where the full value of the project is realised through active management, trading strategies, and ongoing optimization. We are investing in internal optimization tools designed to enhance the operational performance of our assets.
