If you are considering investing in a wind power plant, choosing the right location is crucial to success. Thus, from the start, it is important to identify the various circumstances that may substantially affect the cost structure of the project.
Some parameters that should be considered initially:
- Local policy restrictions (e.g. turbine height, noise and protected environmental areas)
- Product standards and certification required by local authorities
- Risk of extreme weather and natural disasters
- Infrastructure and accessibility
Site conditions affect both the size of the wind power plant and the choice of turbine type. Another important element that affects your investment is clearly wind conditions at site.
