Wind Energy

Wind energy - the fastest growing source of sustainable energy production in the world  can contribute substantially to global goals for reducing CO₂. Sites located offshore and in remote areas are ideal for wind farms and there is enough potential worldwide for wind farms to generate more than twice the forecast energy demand in 2020.

Parallel to the rapid growth of large-scale wind energy production, alternative technologies are emerging, such as sophisticated small-scale urban turbines, which can be incorporated into the architecture of modern cityscapes.

Our wind energy experts advise project developers, energy companies, local and regional authorities, turbine manufacturers, financial institutions and others.
