Global Wind Power is one of Europe's leading suppliers of wind turbine projects. We combine all the specialist skills required to transform our customers' ideas, desires and needs into reality, and to create added value at all levels of a wind turbine project. We are present at all markets of interest. We are a dynamic business, developing in line with our customer needs and closely monitoring opportunities in the global wind market.
New wind projects are developed in close and confidential cooperation with the individual customer, starting with the customer's criteria for getting involved in wind investment. Tax benefits, diversification of risk, green profiling, carbon neutrality and green commitment are just some of the reasons, each requiring different strategies throughout the development phase.

Our Value Chain ensures consistency and optimisation throughout the process in all of our projects. The Value Chain is also a results-focused tool, comprising three separate products: Greenfield, Turnkey and Technical & Commercial Management (TCM), which customers can choose individually or as a package. |
The structure of the Value Chain ensures that our customers benefit
from both continuity and flexibility during product development. We
can manage a project throughout its journey from concept to
reality, or the customer can choose to draw on our expertise and
products during selected phases. The customer can also arrange one
or more part deliveries with Global Wind Power as project manager
and site manager. Our strong TCM means that it is easy for us to
take over the administration of wind turbine projects that have
been developed by other suppliers.

GREENFIELD
Selection and evaluation of potential wind turbine locations
Early stage development of a wind park is often the most challenging phase. Suitable or proposed areas for development of wind projects are investigated, with the aim of assessing the feasibility of a project. Feasibility studies cover the following areas: wind, grid connection, roads, soil conditions and the environment. This initial phase typically ends with the existence of agreements with the land-owners, a preliminary commitment on final grid connection and the authorities' acknowledgement of the location of the project.
Project design and authorizations
This phase is a continuation of the previous phase, and should be undertaken by Global Wind Power or another skilled project developer. A detailed technical and structural project design is prepared. This includes the studies and calculations required in order for the authorities to continue processing the project. This phase ends when all the required permits for the implementation and operation of the wind turbine project are in place, not least the crucial building permit, making the project ready-to-build.
TurnKey
Implementation
Having secured all the necessary permits, the wind turbine project is now ready for implementation. However, if the Greenfield development has been carried out elsewhere, most likely by another developer, Global Wind Power starts by ensuring that the work done meets our standards. Turnkey comprises project planning, design, construction and commissioning, all in close cooperation with the turbine manufacturer (Vestas).
Civil/electrical work and commissioning
We utilize local contractors to perform civil and electrical work, including: Building access roads, pouring turbine foundations, laying electrical cabling and construction of transmission substations. They know the construction legislation is each country, and we ensure the highest standard in project management and site management throughout the construction stage via our vast international experience. In close cooperation with the turbine manufacturer (Vestas), we manage the commissioning of the wind park as well as the final grid connection of the wind turbines with the grid operator. The Turnkey phase is complete when the finished wind turbine project is handed over to the customer.
TECHNICAL & COMMERCIAL MANAGEMENT
Skilled management on your behalf
One of the requirements for successful long-term management of a wind park is skilled development in the previous Greenfield and Turnkey phases. On behalf of the customer, we make sure that all permits, regulations and prior requirements relating to the Greenfield and Turnkey phases are always upheld. To do so, we communicate and resolve potential problems with all related stakeholders; land owners, local authorities, grid operators, etc. This often resource-heavy and challenging work is made possible by our years of Know-how and experience in the field.
Technical Management
Technical Management is responsible for monitoring, inspection and repair of wind turbines and includes ongoing contact with the wind turbine manufacturer (Vestas). Our specially-trained engineers and local operation managers stand ready to act and rectify faults to ensure that your wind park functions optimally throughout its lifetime.
Commercial Management
Complying with changing legislation and commercial optimization of a wind park may prove as important for the efficiency of the wind park as the ongoing Technical Management. Therefore, we manage a range of commercial aspects relating to the wind park in close coordination with the customer. Depending on the customer's wishes and capacity in this field, we may carry out some or all services relating to Commercial Management.
