Making early and informed capital expenditure (CAPEX) assumptions in the offshore wind industry is vital for successful project planning and execution. GMEC offers a dedicated Capex Build Up service to help developers build a robust financial model for their offshore wind projects without prematurely engaging an EPCI contractor. This allows companies to allocate capital wisely, reduce risk exposure, and support profitable investment decisions.
GMEC’s capex build-up services offer a structured, transparent pathway to assess capital investments, forecast long-term value, and streamline processes. Our expertise spans both capital expenditure and operational expenditure (OPEX), ensuring developers understand the full lifecycle cost of their offshore wind projects.
Key components of our capex build-up approach include:
● Method Definition: Engineering and logistics methodology tailored to site and market conditions
● Outputs: Preliminary and outline costs for the supply chain and installation
● Operability Review: Practical and technical review of construction feasibility
● Programme Analysis: Timeline estimates aligned to delivery risk and market trends
● Optimisations: Identification of cost-saving opportunities and operational improvements
● Outline Costing: Cost estimates tied to market benchmarks, equipment specifications, and fiscal year timelines
● Risk and Opportunities Mapping: Proactive identification of where risks lie and how they can be mitigated
This framework is particularly relevant for state-of-the-art turbines and complex ground conditions. It also aligns with strategic capex practices, cash flow management, and long-term investments reflected in the company’s investment strategy.
Capex build-up services by GMEC empower developers to:
● Make data-driven investment decisions
● Understand the real cost of new technologies and fixed assets
● Allocate capital based on evidence and experience
● Improve long-term value while controlling capital and operating expenses
Unlike capex assumptions based solely on contractor estimates, our approach incorporates industry experts, with detailed understanding of the latest technologies, and current market conditions to give a more accurate picture of the investment’s useful life, operating impact, and net contribution.
