Micrositing

Layout optimization that protects yield and bankability.

Micrositing for new builds, repowering, and cluster projects. The work compares turbine positions, wake scenarios, terrain constraints, and energy impact so the layout can be defended before it is locked.

What it includes

Layout comparison

Candidate turbine positions are compared against spacing, wake, access, and terrain constraints.

Scenario analysis

Alternative row spacing, boundary setbacks, and turbine-count scenarios are tested before a final choice is made.

Decision memo

The recommendation is written so a developer, EPC, or investor can see the tradeoff without rebuilding the model.

Typical scope questions

  • How many turbines fit without breaking the energy case?
  • Where does wake become unacceptable relative to yield?
  • Which positions are constrained by terrain, roads, or setbacks?
  • How does the layout change under conservative and aggressive assumptions?

Frequently asked

Is micrositing separate from WRA?

Yes. WRA answers how much energy the site can produce. Micrositing answers which layout produces the best defendable result.

Do you work on repowering layouts?

Yes. Repowering often changes rotor diameter, hub height, spacing, and the wake picture. The layout needs to be re-tested, not simply redrawn.

Can this be used before lender review?

That is the ideal use case. Micrositing is most valuable before the layout is frozen and before the financing case is locked.

Need a layout decision, not just a model file?

Send the site location, turbine assumptions, stage, and any known constraints. The review can be scoped quickly.
