Technical due diligence of a 60MW wind farm (2022)
The Ghoubet project is a 60MW under-construction wind farm in Djibouti. It is developed by an Independent Power Producer (IPP), Red Sea Power, and works are conducted by Siemens-Gamesa.
A company, which is considering acquiring a stake in the project, has tasked a group of consulting firms to conduct a complete due diligence of the project. SOFRECO was responsible for the on-site technical due diligence. The purpose of the visit was to assess the physical state of construction, to compare this with the project's progress reports and to produce a report highlighting areas of concern or red flags.
