Green light for renewable energy investments : a risk analysis tool for renewable energy project development

Although the renewable energy sector is maturing fast, still the developers are experiencing some hurdles to come to financial closure of actual projects. A prominent problem is that the technologies are generally associated with unfamiliar, high and unclear risks. Therefore a tool was developed that provides insights in the risks present in renewable energy projects, assists to communicate these risks and helps finding ways to effectively manage the project risks.

This tool enables project developers and investors to identify risks, to assess the probability and financial impact of these risks and ultimately to prioritize the risks for risk mitigation measures.
