Wind and solar
Today, renewable energy makes up less than 30% of global electricity generation. Rapidly expanding solar and wind energy projects are key to driving that number higher.
Rapid scaling of solar and wind energy solutions
Between 2009 and 2019, the price of solar energy dropped by 90%. In the same period, the price of onshore wind dropped 70%. As a result, solar and wind are now the cheapest sources of energy out-competing fossil fuels.
At Ramboll, we work at the forefront of both solar and wind energy projects to rapidly scale and accelerate the green energy transition.
With a global footprint, we have designed 60% of the world's offshore wind turbine foundations
Leading the global build-out of solar and wind energy projects
Ramboll has more than 30 years of experience in wind energy consulting, from more than 70 countries. As solar energy consultants, we have contributed to the success of more than 500 small to utility-scale solar energy projects across 25 countries.

FEATURED PROJECTS
We're helping client Equinor deliver this revolutionary project with our engineering and technical expertise. It's a world first in challenging offshore conditions.
The second commercial scale offshore wind farm in the USA and New York State’s first ever wind farm will displace millions of tonnes of carbon emissions. Ramboll is designing and engineering the offshore substation topside to connect the wind farm to the grid.
Ramboll designed one of the largest wind farms in China with the capacity to supply 350,000 households with green energy.

Offshore substations
We design offshore substations that are safe and cost-effective. Our standard design catalogue enables efficient execution and the flexibility to frame our solutions to match your project specific needs. We shape the concept, run the electrical studies, and integrate the topsides and foundations, so the design you approve can be procured, installed, and commissioned on time. You get one partner accountable for performance, compliance and feasibility.
- :
Analysis & Due Diligence
Ramboll delivers high-accuracy, defensible energy yield assessments and consultancy for solar and wind projects - onshore and offshore - during pre-construction and operation, using a proven, industry-leading approach. We have supported thousands of projects through concept, development, financing, operation and M&A. Our Due Diligence team provides world class technical advisory services to wind and solar M&A and financing transactions across the world.
- :
True digital twins
With a proprietary true digital twin, we continuously monitor the structural health of offshore structures.
The digital model can significantly reduce operational and maintenance costs, and guide decision-making based on a genuine, real-time understanding of the structure.
- :
Solar PV
Our expertise in solar energy consulting spans everything from PV array to grid connection. Our solar energy services include power transmission, environmental impact, structural and geotechnical feasibility, economic feasibility, and high-level investigations on risk and project development probabilities prior to acquisition or financing.
- :
Onshore wind
Ramboll has provided expert wind energy services to onshore farms with a nominal output of +60,000 MW in more than 60 countries.
We have the expertise to support our clients from due diligence and environmental studies over planning and construction to commissioning and operation of the wind farm and can provide assistance at every step of the project.
