We have been engaged along the entire wind value chain from upstream materials, component manufacturing and integration to downstream project development, power generation, EPC, logistics and O&M services.

We are focused on the utility-scale segment in both onshore and offshore wind – but also performed market studies on small and midscale wind turbines.

For example, in the context of a strategic turnaround, Emerton assisted the CEO of a Wind turbine manufacturer in the design of the company’s strategic plan and performed several focused analyses (e.g. Chinese landscape).

Emerton also performed the strategic due diligence of a condition-monitoring solution provider for the wind industry. We interviewed Wind manufacturers globally to understand the customer voice, gauge the company’s competitive positioning and assess the market potential.

Our clients value our regulation expertise and quantitative methodologies, as well as the clarity of our decision-driven analytics.

• Targeted, senior and expert support where – and only where – it counts: in framing or launching phases of transformation initiatives, for light PMO support or to take the lead on initiatives with exceptional challenges in project management or analytical requirements
• Focus on team onboarding and change management – our clients want actual organization and process transformation, not slides

Our team and intervention modes have been set-up to ground the differentiation of Emerton’s approaches: senior staff heavily involved on projects, most of them with dual industry / consulting experience, flexibly mobilized – from a fully-fledged consulting team, to topic experts, to interim managers through Emerton Leadership, our interim and transition management arm.
