      Bespoke solutions for the life-cycle of renewable energy installations:

      Site Assessment

      MeteoGroupā€˜s dedicated research and development team provide expert advice on the suitability of any given site. We maintain our detailed 40 year archive of historic meteorological and climate data as well as our own meso-scale model. This information is crucial for determining installation, operating and technology strategy and is tailored for onshore and offshore projects.

      Construction & Installation

      The exposed location of a renewable energy site means weather or metocean conditions can frequently slow down a build/installation project and can make working conditions unsafe. MeteoGroup helps project managers identify the next working window and issue clear guidance about the weather to their contractors.

      Operations & Maintenance

      Efficient operations and maintenance is a critical component to the success of any renewable energy installation. MeteoGroup provides a comprehensive O&M service to the industry creating a platform for better site efficiency, constant analyses in performance, safeguarding your project and fulfilling health and safety requirements.

      Power Output

      Understanding how environmental conditions affect the profitability of your asset is crucial. MeteoGroup uses its accurate weather forecasting techniques to convert weather parameters such as wind speed, solar radiation or wave height and condition into power output.

      Our forecasts are tailored for use by electricity production companies, grid operators or trading teams looking for the most accurate predictions on the market.
