WIND ENERGY
Wind power is an infinite source of renewable energy, as wind turbines convert the kinetic energy of the air in motion into electricity.
The modern wind power sector emerged in the 1980s and, since 2000, the industry has grown rapidly, driven by R&D and the increasing competitiveness of the technology, which has reduced its costs by 56% between 2010 and 2020. However, both onshore and offshore wind still have a great potential for deployment worldwide.
Relying on specialized support from an independent third party, such as Enertis Applus+, and our colleagues at Barlovento Applus+, is essential for proper technical advice at different stages of wind projects.
Technical Advisory & Consulting Services
The Enertis Applus+ highly specialized team of consultants supports clients with tailored services for onshore and offshore wind projects, such as wind resource and energy yield assessments, technical due diligence for financing or M&A, and performance assessments for projects that are already in operation.
Engineering
Services
Our team of specialized engineers offer comprehensive back-office technical engineering and owner’s engineering services, providing support across all the stages of wind projects, from pre-planning, to planning and development, to implementation and construction.

Our team of qualified inspectors, engineers, and Senior Project Managers assists our clients with vendor surveillance services, such as in-factory pre-manufacturing audits, blade manufacturing oversight and pre-shipment batch acceptance testing.
