Strategic advisors in global wind energy
The demand for energy in the emerging economies is expected to double by 2030, fuelled by economic growth in China and India. Existing sources of energy supply are becoming depleted, and are insufficient to meet these countries’ growth in demand, resulting in large increases in imports, in competition with North America and Europe. Moreover, the price of conventional energy sources is escalating, thus jeopardising the security of the energy supply in net importing countries.
Wind energy is ideally positioned to lead the charge towards the target of sourcing a higher percentage of energy needs from renewables. Wind power not only has the potential to satisfy the increasing energy demand, it is also a significant and vital stimulus for local economies.
With the new generation of MW wind turbines and offshore power plants, and ever-changing legislation in the various countries around the world, executives face an overwhelming volume of relevant data that they must deal with and apply astutely if they are to implement successful strategies within the renewable energy sector.

Market assessment
Our clients demand information about specific markets or regions in order to make qualified strategic decisions. MAKE constantly monitors the global wind market, enabling us to provide our clients with market forecasts, an analysis of the legal and political frameworks in the various countries (and the implications thereof), the opportunities and risks involved, the competitive dynamics and landscape facing players, business modelling and entry/exit strategies.
Supply chain dynamics
Decisions about where to source supplies are complicated by transient local factors, amongst other things. MAKE can facilitate such decisions with relevant recommendations concerning production footprints, procurement strategies, value chain positioning, business modelling and capacity forecasts by reviewing the sourcing opportunities, mapping the suppliers and the competitive landscape and conducting make/buy analyses.
M&A – DD and advisory
M&A can be a complex issue, requiring in-depth research into the target company’s background and potential. MAKE is the independent, unbiased partner you need to screen investment opportunities, conduct target analyses, perform due diligence studies and be your exclusive advisor with regards to the competitive dynamics and landscape, allowing your organisation to draw well-informed conclusions.
Project development
New projects involve considerable logistical calculations and assessments of the market and legal environments. MAKE can help with portfolio screening, project valuation, entry strategies and value chain positioning.
Project implementation
Wind projects are becoming larger, more global and more complex. Our clients seek clear, explanatory advice on how to implement their wind projects with regards to organisational development, profit protection tooling and strategic agreement modelling.
Operation, maintenance and service (OMS)
Once a wind project is up and running, a whole new set of challenges arises. MAKE delivers business matrix development, strategic maintenance agreement modelling, benchmarking and entry/exit strategies based on analyses of the legal, political and financial issues, the market situation, risk management and the transmission and storage options. This provides your organisation with an added value proposition, enabling you to achieve your strategic targets and business objectives, and guaranteeing the availability of facilities.
