Careful site selection is critical to the success of renewable energy projects. As subsidies decline and competition increases, accurate long-term yield forecasts are essential for ensuring profitability and sustainability. 4cast explores the key strategies and technologies driving effective site assessment.
Determining the optimal location is a fundamental aspect in planning and implementing renewable energy projects. It forms the basis for their technical feasibility, economic efficiency and environmental compatibility. Careful site selection is increasingly important in a rapidly changing energy market.
In the past, lower yields due to planning errors or suboptimal location decisions could be partially offset by higher subsidies or technological advances. However, because of shrinking subsidies and increasing competition, this scope is far more limited today. Wrong decisions when choosing a location can therefore not only jeopardize the profitability of a project, but also its feasibility.
