Expert opinions for all phases of your wind energy project

We support you from project development to the end-of-life of your wind turbines. Our precise dismantling cost analyses offer maximum planning security, enable well-founded investment decisions and guarantee smooth dismantling – reliably and comprehensively for all turbine types.

Our expertise for precise calculations of your dismantling costs

RDRWind e.V.

We have been involved in the decommissioning of wind turbines for several years as a founding member of RDRWind e.V., the previous research project “DemoNetXXL” and the WindEurope TaskForce “Decommissioning of Onshore Wind Turbines”. Our focus is always on participating in new developments and taking them into account in our expert reports.

Versatile applications

We support you with precise dismantling cost assessments for wind turbines in order to reliably fulfil dismantling obligations, form correct provisions and minimize financial risks.

Due diligence

Reliable overview of the dismantling costs of your investment

Situation: When purchasing an existing wind farm, precise analyses of the dismantling costs are crucial for a sound financial assessment.

Solution: Our reliable dismantling cost calculation supports your due diligence and ensures transparency with regard to financial risks.

Application and project start

Reliable calculation of dismantling costs for each type of wind turbine

Situation: For the construction of new wind turbines (BImSchG), a precise provision amount is already required when the application is submitted.

Solution: Nefino provides well-founded dismantling cost estimates at an early stage in order to meet your financial obligations correctly from the outset.

End-of-life concept

Clarity about the amount of your dismantling costs

Situation: Your wind turbine is approaching the end of its service life. A precise calculation of the dismantling costs is now crucial.

Solution: Nefino prepares individual and up-to-date dismantling cost reports.

Our approach

Wind turbines are made of various materials such as concrete, steel, fiber-reinforced plastics and copper. Dismantling is complex and varies depending on the type of turbine, which means that the dismantling costs also vary accordingly. In order to ensure a complete cost analysis, all turbine and wind farm characteristics are recorded on a project-specific basis in our expert reports and included in the calculation.

WTG-specific material matrices

We have built up a comprehensive database on the material composition of wind turbines. Thanks to our cooperation with experienced dismantling companies, it contains practical and realistic data on all wind turbine models. These material matrices enable a specific calculation of the dismantling costs for each turbine type.

Provision for restoration obligation
Dismantling costs for wind turbines

Current disposal costs and recycling proceeds

Many wind turbine components are recyclable and can be sold on the secondary raw materials market, including metals such as steel and copper. Other materials such as concrete or operating fluids require professional disposal. We take into account current and future recycling proceeds and disposal costs in the dismantling cost analyses and thus offer an accurate estimate of the dismantling costs for your wind energy project.

Precise analysis of dismantling costs for our customers

Numerous companies are already successfully relying on our dismantling cost reports to reliably determine the subsequent costs of dismantling. You too can benefit from our reports and stay one step ahead of the competition.

Nefino’s dismantling cost report convinced us with its detailed and transparent breakdown of costs and revenues. The precise interim results gave us the confidence that all aspects of our wind farm had been thoroughly considered.

Andreas Scharf (Key Account Manager), Primus Energy

Nefino’s report clearly stands out from others due to its transparency and comprehensibility. The close cooperation and careful consideration of all project characteristics helped us to accurately forecast the future dismantling costs.

Reiner Borgmeyer (Managing Director), EFG Energy Farming

The expert opinion not only supported us in calculating and planning the dismantling costs, but also helped us to meet the increased requirements of the authorities. The collaboration with Nefino was always fast, focused and professional.

As individual as your wind farm – the price of our expert opinion

Our prices are as individual as your requirements. In order to offer you the best possible solution, we analyze your specific needs and create a tailor-made offer.

Calculation of provisions for wind power plant dismantling obligations

Once the order has been placed, all the necessary data is recorded and coordinated in a kick-off meeting. After processing, we hand over the comprehensive report and are available to answer questions during the final presentation.

Have our dismantling cost reports aroused your interest?

Frequently asked questions →

We will contact you as soon as possible after receiving your request. As soon as we have received the order, we will arrange a kick-off meeting with you if required. If we have all the relevant information (wind farm and turbine data, site plans, etc.), it will take 5 to 10 working days, depending on the size of the wind farm, before you receive the report. In the case of urgent orders, the processing time can be shortened accordingly by arrangement.

Yes, in addition to the so-called base scenario, the cost estimate for dismantling in accordance with the requirements of the dismantling obligation for wind turbines, including recycling and disposal of materials, we also carry out cost estimates for other scenarios for the same wind farm, such as the repowering scenario or the secondary market scenario. This gives you the opportunity to weigh up the costs of different end-of-life options before the project begins.

Taking into account the inflation factor of 2 % in accordance with the ECB’s standard specification, we calculate the cost surcharge for the dismantling date specified by you. The cost and revenue estimates for the disposal and recycling of materials are updated at regular intervals in consultation with the dismantling companies.

Yes, we offer dismantling cost forecasts regardless of the location of the wind farm. Current exchange rates and the site-specific price situation for personnel and material costs as well as recycling proceeds are taken into account in the cost forecast. On request, we can also provide you with the report in English.

The formation of provisions for the dismantling of wind turbines to meet legal requirements is a key aspect that our expert opinions address. Depending on the country-specific requirements, valuation regulations or calculation formulas, we can explicitly take this into account.
