Last year the UK Government agreed with other Member
States to an EU-wide target of 20% renewable energy by 2020. That
is almost a ten-fold increase in renewable energy consumption from
where we are today. In order to achieve this vision the capital
investment from the UK alone is expected to exceed £100 billion of
which wind projects account for £49 billion. Worldwide spend is
expected to top £1 trillion.
There are a number of fundamental challenges
renewable energy clients will face in the planning and delivery of
their major capital programmes. This will include identifying the
most profitable markets; maximising value from the project
portfolio; actively managing project risks; being aware of local
market needs when competing for projects; and seizing the
opportunities from national and international regulations and
subsidy regimes.
At EC Harris we understand the issues renewable
energy clients are presented with when securing their market
position and maximising returns from their investment. Our
expertise is centred on optimising cost, time and risk around the
delivery of renewable energy investment.
