Check List for the Planing and Installation of Wind Force Parks

• How many Wind Turbines are projected, which kind of installed power and which height do they have?
• Which Turbine supplier has already given his offer?
• Which total investments had been estimated? What's the whole amount considering the available funds i.e. the state subsidies? Are financing acceptances available should the situation arise?
• Which independent Consultant does oversee the project from a technical-economic view?
• Which kind of capital provision has been choosen?
• Are there at least two (better: several) independent Wind reports? Have the experts undertake an audit check of the possible turbines with regard to the turbines's characteristic?
• A safety reduction of the Wind prognosis has been undertaken regard to the economy.
• Does the technical achievement (capacity characteristic) of the Wind Turbines corrispond to the requirements? Is it guaranteed by the manufacturer? Is it established (standard model) or is it a prototype? Is the capacity characteristic of Wind Turbine measured by an accredited Institute? Where do we find similar Turbines (References)?
• Which height of availability and through how many years dos the manufacturer of Wind Turbines guarantee the availability?
• Does the manufacturer give a yield guarantee to the Wind Turbine?
• Do alternative comparable offers of other manufacturer exist for Wind Turbines? Which are the reasons why a determined Turbine manufacturer was choosen?Is the professional enterprise ensured by the Wind Turbines' manufacturer (service, maintenance contracts)? Who does otherwise take on the management/ monitoring of the operation
• All the necessary permissions and technical approval for the Turbines'construction and operation are available and has the investment's acceptance of the responsible Energy Supplier already been given (mains connection contract)
• Were the costs for sites, planning, expert reports, building permits, construction measures for mains and connection to the electricity net appropriately considered through the calculation of profitability.
• Were also the costs of transport, installation and inauguration appropriately considered through the manufacturer's offer?
• How high have been fixed the the reserve for future repairs as quota of the current yield? Were the costs of service, reparation and maintenance appropriately considered?
• Was it calculated (normal) with economic total tax write-off or by considering sale (possibly illusory)? How is the sale possibility to be judged (guaranteed?)? How does the return on capital precipitate if no sale is possible? Is there some acceptance where the tax office recognizes the fiscal concept?
• The risks like decreased yield, writing off of investments, if necessary, even total loss of the Turbine etc. were sufficiently considered through the economy calculation.
• Are machinery breakdown insurance,insurance for machine interruption, employer's liability insurance considered through the economy calculation?
• The costs of commercial management and technical management were considered appropriately? How high are they as percentage of the business volume?
• An analysis of sensitivity regard to the Energy yield and further parameter of the economy calculation of production has been accomplished (…what happens, if…?)?
• A kind of funds expenditure's trustee has been commissioned ? Thus the control of funds expenditure or even the possibility to make a decision are given by the funds expenditure's trustee?
• Do a result prognosis, a liquidity prognosis and an application of funds statement exist? How high is the internal interest rate of the investment including Agio (before and after the taxes)? How high are the distributions over 20 years (in % of the investment)?
• Do rights to vote exist proportionally to the size of the deposited investment? Do the partner have their own information-, inspection- and auditing rights? Is the formation of an advisory council possible according to the partnership agreement?
• Are the annual accounts examined through an auditor?
• Are the conditions for a capital reversal (if the own capital could not be completely raised) fixed?
• Who takes on the enterprise management and monitoring of the Turbines? Which reaction time are guaranteed? How does the technical concept (EDP, Controlling i.e. Monitoring) for the supervision look like?
