Wind is among the fastest-growing renewable energy segments

Wind is an increasingly element of the renewables mix that is playing a crucial role in the global energy transition.

Wind energy is expected to become the second largest source of global renewable electricity generation, just behind solar PV.

Even faster growth is needed, however; the encouraging recent progress can be further boosted by reduced costs for installations, facilitated by technological developments.

kWh Analytics’ wind energy solutions encourage growth by protecting projects against volatile wind speeds.

The main risks faced by wind energy projects include varying wind speeds, damage caused by extreme weather, and equipment breakdown.

With our internal expertise and unrivaled asset database, kWh Analytics incentivizes resiliency measures to protect wind energy assets. Meanwhile, the Wind Proxy Hedge safeguards projects against unreliable wind speeds, taking downside risk out of financing.

Keeping wind projects profitable

Taking measures to enhance a wind projects’ resiliency improves profitability and reduces the risks of underproduction and equipment damage.

Taking measures to mitigate lightning effects

Keeping spare components available on site

Raising electrical equipment out of flood zones
