Smart design, services and solutions
to generate savings from day one
We all know that the cost of delivering offshore wind projects can
be negatively affected through design and development inefficiencies, piecemeal operations and environmental constraints.
So it is generally accepted that an integrated approach to design
and project development is desirable and in fact presents one of
the best ways to remediate issues quickly and keep costs down.
But do you know how to do this in a way that will work best for
you and reduce the cost of energy right from the very beginning
of your project?
At Royal HaskoningDHV and ECN, we understand precisely
where your real challenges are likely to be with such approaches
and how these are linked to the success of your bids. That’s why
we start by tailor-making solutions that:
• are right for you/your business
• will generate cost savings from project start, and
• continue to save you money throughout the project
5 Ways to Reap the Benefits
and Save Costs
Through our collective engineering and consulting experience
in wind energy, we have identified 5 areas where you can start
the cost saving process and improve your bid success. Each is
backed with a portfolio of world-class services and the expertise to help you transform the integrated design approach from
standard concept to financial reality:
• Design that is well-tuned, efficient and embedded in O&M
• Constraint management from concept to development
• Financing efficacy to keep the cost of borrowing down
• Risk identification and management from design
and procurement, to construction and operation
• Insurances and warranties – selecting the options
that are right for you

risk minimisation
Lowering your capital costs with smart decisions
Expert procurement and risk management strategies deployed at
the earliest stages of a wind farm project can result in savings of up
to 50 per in capital costs.
We understand that the key to reducing the cost of risk is to build
confidence. Relying on our expertise, experience and know-how can
help raise confidence in the risk assessment and as a result make a
significant contribution to reducing the capital cost of the project.
By taking a risk-based approach to construction cost management,
we can help drive down capital cost through effective costing and
allocation of risk that is based on an informed assessment of risk

AND STRATEGY
Strengthening your business with
integrated strategies
During the development of a project it’s easy to forget
the impact of O&M in the long term. It’s often the ‘poor
and forgotten relation’ when it comes to planning, and
yet ignoring it can lead to spiralling costs down the line.
We know it’s vital to develop a single O&M plan and
strategy early on in the design phase of a project, and
then to continue to refine it during the project consent,
FID (final investment decision) and construction stages.
We offer a range of solutions and services to develop
an overarching strategy. In addition, we also offer
complementary support services including regulatory
compliance, data availability and agree structuring.
Services and solutions for O&M:
• O&M modelling for equipment and components
• proven wind farm management modelling to maxi mise power yield across the life of the project
• development
of project specific environmental
management systems to ensure full regulatory and
reporting compliance
• health and safety management services to ensure
safe procedures are embedded in O&M and the
project is fully compliant with regulation and report
ing requirements
• project data management systems design based on
BIM (building information modelling) systems
