We provide a fully transparent service tailored to your needs and the size and scope of your project. Dhrumik Land Developers Private Limited recommends a staged approach to the feasibility, technical development, and consenting phases of a wind farm development, which allows:
To support wind energy projects from initial site identification through to the planning stages, Dhrumik Land Developers Private Limited specialist feasibility and development team provides a comprehensive and flexible package of consultancy services:
Site selection
DLD’s wind energy Feasibility study
Pre-feasibility
Detailed renewable energy feasibility study
Dhrumik Land Developers Private Limited assists clients in the design and development stage of large-scale renewable energy projects including project sizing and optimization of the design.
Our consultants have an in-depth understanding of renewable technologies and can undertake an in-depth analysis of:
Once a suitable technology has been proposed we model different system configurations to ensure they are compatible and optimized for maximum yield output.
Pre-contract negotiations
Pre-contract negotiations form a significant part of SgurrEnergy’s services and we are skilled in specifying the owner’s specific requirements. Our international experience in negotiating with contractors provides owners with a robust site/ plant design and contracts with industry-leading technical schedules.
Environmental and grid connection applications
Dhrumik Land Developers Private Limited in-house environmental team support clients with planning application advice and guidance and our electrical engineers provide grid connection support, liaising with distribution network operators, creating single-line diagrams, and acting as an agent for grid connection applications.
Dhrumik Land Developers Private Limited can support you through every stage of your wind resource assessment from initial site visits through to mast and instrumentation supply and installation to data recovery, reporting, and decommissioning.
Our range of met mast services includes:
Mast installation team
Dhrumik Land Developers Private Limited in-house mast installation team are expertly trained to provide complete control of all installation works on your wind farm site. Our installation team will ensure that no matter your choice of wind monitoring mast, it will be installed to the highest of safety standards. Having the team in-house allows Dhrumik Land Developers Private Limited to pass on a number of benefits to clients including:
Data recovery and monthly reporting
Dhrumik Land Developers Private Limited has an in-house team of data analysts who can provide expert processing, screening, and archiving of data from on and offshore measurement equipment including met masts and remote sensing devices. Data is downloaded three times a week via the remote communication system. Data quality will be screened regularly and appended to the site dataset.
Preventative maintenance data checks will also be carried out three times a week, paying close attention to the operational data.
Monthly interim reporting is delivered via email and includes a monthly trend datasheet, report screen log, and maintenance issues log, the report also includes the following:
Identifying whether a renewable energy project is commercially feasible involves detailed analysis, modeling, and assessment to minimize project risk and maximize returns.
Using industry-standard modeling, dedicated tools, and software, Dhrumik Land Developers Private Limited analysts collect and analyze resources and yield potential to accurately understand how the project should expect to perform in operation.
Some of these services include:

Some of the standard services offered and key considerations made in our energy yield predictions include:
The level of uncertainty in the energy yield prediction will be estimated based on all inputs to the energy yield prediction from wind measurement through to wind flow modeling. DLD has developed in-house tools that produce a probability of exceedance energy yield values (such as P75 and P90) typically used in project finance.
Using state of the art software and modeling techniques, our expert analysis team creates long-term wind distributions and wind flow models to produce a wind energy density map across a proposed wind farm site.
This, in turn, allows us to predict the annual energy yield from a proposed wind turbine layout, and also to quantify the wake loss, wind shear, turbulence, and extreme wind characteristics of the site. This detailed wind regime information will inform decisions on turbine selection and allows us to optimize the turbine layout to maximize energy yield without reducing turbine life.
DLD also has a dedicated environmental team that works alongside our analysis experts to provide wind farm layouts that are within the environmental and planning constraints of the site.
Due Diligence
Investors can require due diligence support at any stage of their renewables project. From Greenfield to partially developed and operating renewable sites; DLD provides technical, commercial, and environmental due diligence assessments across all of these areas.
We have a strong international track record in providing impartial, reliable, and confidential due diligence services for renewable energy projects on behalf of banks, private equity institutions, and developers across the globe. Our experience includes projects ranging from refinancing operational onshore portfolios to large-scale solar projects in developing countries, to the world’s first project financed offshore wind farm and the world’s largest offshore wind financing deals.
Our due diligence services include:
Our active asset management services include:
Technical asset management
Re-powering
As the first phase of wind farms comes to the end of their scheduled lifetime, Natural Power is in an excellent position to advise on all aspects of project progression. During our 20+ years, we have amassed a huge amount of knowledge in this area, having been involved in the consent of many of the INDIA’s early wind farms and witnessed major changes in policy, site constraints, and technology.
We can review and advise on when (and if) to re-power, giving consideration to the support regimes and planning policies in place. We can also undertake turbine assessments, investigate options for upgrading current plant and site redesign with a view to up-powering or extending the life of existing assets.
Drawing upon our extensive planning and environment experience we can lead to stakeholder engagement, environmental assessment, consent management, decommissioning, and conditional discharge. Post-consent, we can then manage the construction phase right through to eventual commissioning and managing the repowered asset. Our main aim is to efficiently manage the costs, risks, and timescales in one, seamless, end to end process.
Our in-house electrical engineering team can also look at the options for increasing the utilization of an existing grid connection. They can advise on whether to add more of the same technology, install an alternative, or modify existing equipment to increase overall capacity. Natural Power’s multidisciplinary approach to site design and 20+ years’ experience in the industry is ideally suited to repowering projects.
