Sustainable development: we do.
The Eurecna's Renewable Energy Unit is operating in an advisory capacity for a wide range of renewable energy technologies and is directly investing in the fields of wind power, cogeneration from solid biomass, production of liquid biomass, SHPP and waste-to-energy.
We are currently managing a pipeline of renewable energy projects for an overall capacity of over 300 MW in Italy and almost 600 MW overseas – most of them in Romania – including the development of CDM projects in Macedonia, Montenegro and Morocco, two of which have already reached the validation phase.
Our Renewable Energy Unit carries out – or supervises – all stages of the project lifecycle, including:
- Identification, selection and characterization of suitable sites.
- Measurements of physical indicators (wind speed, river flows, etc.) with certified instruments.
- Selection of appropriate technologies for a wide spectrum of renewable energy projects.
- Cost-benefit analyses.
- Environmental Impact Assessment.
- Analyses of national energy policies and grid capacity absorption.
- Financial planning and structuring of project finance agreements.
- Preparation of PDD's for CDM initiatives and advice on carbon trade financing.
- Project definition, feasibility and preparation of executive drawings.
- Procedures for obtaining the full set of licenses and permits.
- Turkney installation and commissioning.
- Facilities operation and maintenance.
