French wind project takes Triton wind-speed data to the Bank

By Paul Dvorak | May 2, 2017

Using Triton data as part of their wind resource assessment, La Compagnie du Vent was able to produce a bankable due diligence report with reduced uncertainty and improved financing terms.

Using Triton data as part of their wind resource assessment, La Compagnie du Vent was able to produce a bankable due diligence report with reduced uncertainty and improved financing terms. La Compagnie du Vent, Engie Group, one of France’s leading wind power producers, had to finance a wind project with five planned 120-meter hub height wind turbines. Using the Triton Wind Profiler, the company was able to reduce the uncertainty of their wind resource assessment by obtaining measurements at and above the turbine’s hub height. Working with a leading independent engineering firm, La Compagnie du Vent used the Triton data to successfully finance the project.

Its challenge was to:
▪ Finance a wind project with accurate, hub-height data for turbines with hub heights of 120 meters
▪ Make the best choice of technology for the climate and terrain conditions
