renerco plan consult

What renerco plan consult does

renerco plan consult GmbH is a Munich-based renewable energy consulting firm established in 2003, specializing in planning, due diligence, and accredited technical advisory for wind, solar, grid connection, and sector coupling projects. Its core offerings comprise four service pillars (Photovoltaik, Windenergie, Netzanschluss, and Sektorkopplung) supported by specialized consulting products including Due Diligence, PV-Ertragsgutachten, Performance Optimization and Asset Audit, project Planning, Revamping, Thermography, LiDAR Measurement, Wind and Emission Reports, Seminars, and PtX Studies. The technical foundation rests on DAkkS-accredited wind measurement and reporting capability under DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025:2018 (including TR 6 and TR 10 protocols), supported by the firm's own LiDAR devices enabling wind speed, direction, turbulence, and vertical wind profile measurement up to 200 m, including in difficult terrain.

The firm operates a B2B sales-led professional services model targeting four primary customer segments: investors and financial institutions (banks, institutional investors, family offices) requiring due diligence and risk assessment; project developers needing planning, permitting, and grid connection coordination; plant operators seeking performance optimization and repowering advisory; and grid connection projects needing cable route and substation optimization. Documented operational outcomes include a cable route reduction from 28 km to 7 km for a 130 MWp solar park, elimination of a substation build for a 15 MW wind farm via medium voltage connection, and a 16 km to 0 km cable reduction for a 4 MW wind farm through grid optimization. Pricing disclosed only for the training arm: €285 + VAT per participant for Wind/PV/O&M seminars and €495 + VAT per participant for Grid Connection seminars, with a minimum of 5 participants. Workforce of 30+ draws from engineering, architecture, geography, and meteorology disciplines across more than 10 nationalities.

From 2013 to late 2025 the firm operated as a subsidiary of BayWa r.e. Group; in December 2025 it was acquired by Natural Power Ltd, a Scottish-headquartered renewable energy consultancy owned by Norway's Olsen family, which operates over 500 staff across 13 offices in the UK, Ireland, France, Italy, and the USA and has delivered more than 500 GW of renewable energy projects in 70+ countries. The firm holds ISO 45001 certification for occupational health and safety and maintains active memberships in FGW, BWE, and SüdCert, with active participation in BWE and VDE working groups on grid connection topics.

Broad incumbents

• Wood Group: Global consulting and engineering firm with a dedicated Renewables business covering wind, solar, storage, and hydrogen advisory, including technical due diligence and owner's engineer services. Comparable to renerco's full-lifecycle renewable energy consulting model, although serving a broader mix of energy and industrial clients.
• Ramboll: International engineering, design, and consulting firm with a strong renewable energy practice spanning wind, solar, storage, and grid connection planning. Overlaps directly with renerco's project planning, due diligence, and grid connection optimization services across European markets.
• Bureau Veritas: Global testing, inspection, and certification company with renewable energy services including wind resource assessment, yield studies, and project certification. Comparable to renerco's accredited wind expert and LiDAR measurement services, though Bureau Veritas covers many industries beyond renewables.
• TÜV SÜD: German-based technical services and certification body with significant renewable energy activity including wind/PV assessment, certification, and training. Comparable to renerco on accredited wind reports and certification-related testing, while operating as a much larger, multi-industry TIC incumbent.
• DNV: Global assurance and risk management firm with a large Energy Systems division covering renewable energy advisory, technical due diligence, yield assessments, and grid integration. Compares to renerco on wind/PV consulting, project certification, and standards work but operates at vastly greater scale across multiple industries.
• WSP: Global professional services firm with a Power & Energy consultancy covering wind, solar, storage, and grid integration planning, permitting, and due diligence. Comparable to renerco on renewable energy planning and grid connection services, although WSP serves a much broader infrastructure client base.
• Tractebel (Engie): Engineering consultancy owned by Engie offering renewable energy advisory, grid connection studies, and project planning across onshore/offshore wind, PV, storage, and hydrogen. Directly comparable to renerco on technical consulting for renewable project development and grid integration in European markets.
• Mott MacDonald: Global engineering, management, and development consultancy with a substantial energy practice spanning wind, solar, storage, grid, and hydrogen advisory. Overlaps with renerco on technical due diligence, owner's engineer, and grid connection advisory in European and emerging markets.

Direct peers
