We operate your wind and solar projects
With predictable returns: 24/7, focussed and independently.
Can you predict the short and long term costs of your wind or solar farm? Difficult? At OutSmart, we can. As experts, we are mainly active in the operational phase of your renewable projects. We support investors, owners, fund managers and industrial offtakers in the operational management and in getting a predictable return on investment.
OutSmart focusses on technical and commercial operations of wind and solar projects.
Life cycle renewable energy assets
For 15 years, OutSmart has specialised in day-to-day, active operational management of renewable energy projects (wind, solar and storage). This operational experience also translates into knowledge of financial, contractual and organisational aspects in particular, which have their impact throughout a project's life cycle.
OutSmart has created a cyclical model, adding value directly for its clients. For example, practical and operational contract knowledge is used during the development phase and to carry out due diligence. In addition, OutSmart can support during the construction phase as a technical advisor in monitoring technical progress or by reviewing trial run data. At each stage, this broad, operational experience is relevant.
