Feasibility study

A feasibility study evaluates the viability of a renewable energy project on a site, identifying both potential challenges and opportunities for landowners or communities.

Contact

The first step toward successful implementation

The feasibility study is the first significant step in thoroughly assessing the suitability of sites for renewable energy. While EEF proactively conducts feasibility analyses, landowners or communities approach us during this phase. We assess the sites for their suitability for technologies such as wind, photovoltaics, storage, and conversions, always considering the regional specifics. Thanks to our local expertise and cutting-edge tools, you quickly gain a clear picture of whether and how the project can be implemented.

The objectives of the feasibility study

Assessment of the project's feasibility

The main objective of the feasibility study, following initial contact by a landowner, is to comprehensively assess the feasibility of a renewable energy project.

Risk minimization through proactive planning

The feasibility study enables early identification of potential risks and restrictions. Through proactive planning, these challenges can be specifically minimized or avoided, significantly increasing the project's chances of success.

Meeting minimum requirements

The study ensures that the project meets all legal, technical, and environmental minimum requirements. By considering restrictions during the planning phase, it is ensured that the project is eligible for approval and meets all necessary standards.

From potential to a concrete project roadmap

EEF is characterized by a proactive approach. Combined with our experience, this allows for the early creation of a concrete project roadmap, providing all participants with a clear and well-founded overview.

1. Information acquisition

Receiving information about the land and its location

The foundation of the process is the provision of necessary information. This includes geographical, topographical, and infrastructural information essential for the feasibility study. This detailed data collection creates the basis for an accurate analysis.

2. Examination

Analysis of the area and restrictions using a GIS tool

In the next step, the provided data is analyzed using a GIS tool (Geoinformation system). This tool allows for a detailed examination of the area, including potential restrictions such as environmental requirements, legal regulations, and infrastructural conditions. The GIS analysis provides precise and visually prepared data that are crucial for further evaluation.

3. Evaluation

In-depth evaluation considering local expertise

After the analysis, a thorough evaluation of the results is conducted by our experts. Special attention is given to regionally specific parameters to ensure that all local characteristics and potentials are considered. Our team uses its extensive experience and expertise to provide a realistic and reliable assessment of the project's feasibility.

4. Feedback

Transmission of results to the landowner or local community

Finally, the results of the feasibility study are communicated to the landowner or the community. This feedback includes a detailed presentation of the analysis and evaluation, including all identified potentials and restrictions. The landowner or the community receives a clear and understandable overview, which serves as a basis for further project planning. EEF ensures that all questions are clarified and the next steps are discussed.
