Wind & Solar Power

Integrated services across the entire wind and solar project lifecycle.

Feasibility Greens

The first essential step in creating a successful renewable energy project is a ‘Feasibility Study,” which examines if the selection of the project is financially and technologically viable. Many technical factors affect the choice of a site, including wind speed / solar radiation, land topography and geology, site layout, grid structure, proximity to utilities, logistics feasibility, local regulations & permitting requirements.

The feasibility study for the proposed renewable energy project helps to understand the extent and nature of the risks, costs, financial returns, and environmental benefits. Once these are adequately understood, an objective view can be taken on whether to proceed with a planning application and incur the costs of doing so.

It is one of the first steps in the project development process. The goal is to limit project risk and address issues early. When identified, many critical design constraints can be overcome effectively with planning.

Feasibility Greens
  • Greenfield development – Identification and early-stage development of potential wind / solar power project sites by carrying out the feasibility study
  • Wind mast installation & Wind resource analysis using advanced technology
  • Site feasibility study – Land feasibility, Connectivity feasibility, Logistics feasibility, Social Impact analysis & Environmental studies
  • Co-Development – Partnering to secure the potential brownfield sites.
  • Optimized project design and layout
  • Economic Analysis – Providing inputs to determine the financial viability of the project.

Land Procurement

Land procurement has been identified as a vital issue in the timely execution of solar and wind energy projects. Reasons include limited availability of land, high population density, multiple approvals, and competing use of land. Moreover, the land is a state subject under the Indian constitution, leading to different state regulations across states.

Land Procurement
Land Procurement
  • Detailed survey for proposed RE project land, Line route & logistics route, etc...
  • Identification of the project land and its type/category.
  • Collecting title documents of the approved land and carrying out complete due diligence of the land title.
  • Procurement of the land parcel by way of sale deed or lease deed.
  • Conversion of the land status

Project Execution

Project execution is one of the most crucial & most extended phases of the renewable energy project life cycle; proper planning and monitoring is the essential key for the project’s success.

Foster Energy manages the project execution activities with highly skilled, knowledgeable, and experienced professionals. We provide end-to-end solutions and support from inception to handing over phase of renewable energy projects. We manage every aspect of project delivery to ensure the project is successful.

Permits and Approvals

Foster Energy provides Comprehensive support to obtain necessary permits and approvals for the construction and operation of wind and solar power projects.

Permits and Approvals
Permits and Approvals
  • Legal rights, Permissions, and Approvals required to build a wind or solar power project.
  • Necessary approvals for commissioning of the project.
  • Obtaining permission and clearances from the Ministry of Defence (MoD) and Aviation Authority of India (AAI) for setting up a wind energy project.
  • Necessary Permissions from relevant government authorities to construct transmission lines.
  • Necessary Permissions from relevant government authorities to develop a logistics route for transporting WTG and Crane parts to the project site

Logistics

Wind & Solar energy equipment are expensive, and it requires lot of attention and care to transport the materials safely at the project site.

Foster Energy provides field survey studies starting from the nearest National Highway to the project site, identifying the most optimal transport route to the project site. The survey is followed up by a detailed report and development that would identify any road or infrastructure modifications needed to allow the inland transportation of the components required for the particular project site.

Logistics
Logistics
  • Route survey from the nearest NH and submission of a detailed report.
  • Obtaining necessary permits and approvals for the development of existing roads or new roads.
  • Assistance required for logistics management at the project site.

Operations and Maintenance

Foster Energy strongly focuses on providing sustainable Operations and Maintenance (O&M) services for the renewable energy infrastructure & assets to ensure the best ROI for investors.
