The expansion of renewable energy is a political objective in all countries around the world, with hydropower being a decades-old form of power generation. There is huge potential in the exploitation of wind energy -– both onshore and offshore –- as well as solar energy with the help of solar thermal and photovoltaic plants. Biomass can also be used to generate heat and electricity or to produce fuel. A further option in favorable locations is the generation of electricity in geothermal power plants.

Sinartia is experienced in the engineering of plants based on renewable energy sources. It can handle across-the-board tasks such as market analyses, assessment of funding programs and due diligence services.

The transition from a predominantly fossil-based to a predominantly renewables-based energy economy calls also for a transformation of the grid infrastructure, since favorable sites for power generation from renewable energy sources are often far away from the centers of consumption. In addition, solar- and wind-based power generation, in particular, is highly unpredictable and not amenable to being planned in fifteen-minute blocks. This results in an increased need not only to store energy, such as in pumped-storage hydropower plants, but also to meet the demand for balancing power. Sinartia's broad range of services offers the guarantee of expert consultancy also in these areas.
