Wind and Solar

Turbocharging the expansion of renewable energy generation and creating a dynamic, connected clean energy ecosystem.

The capability for clean, reliable and sustainable wind and solar power to replace legacy, fossil fuel-based energy production has been clearly established, delivering huge benefits in the battle against climate change. A single three-megawatt wind turbine’s 25-year lifespan eliminates more than 150,000 tonnes of coal and around 400,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions needed to produce the equivalent amount of power.

Capgemini is playing a leading role in the transition to wind and solar power generation at pace and scale, supporting organizations throughout the value chain to overcome their specific challenges and to take advantage of the tremendous commercial opportunities that are now emerging.

We deploy comprehensive strategic understanding, global commercial energy market and physical infrastructure knowhow, engineering excellence, industrialisation solutions and innovative digital technologies in harmony. The result is an acceleration in the design and delivery of large scale, optimized and compliant wind and solar projects around the world, all contributing to the creation of a new, connected clean energy ecosystem and the achievement of our shared net zero objectives.

What we do

Wind and solar installations are already playing a huge role in the achievement of our net zero targets – if we can accelerate the delivery of the asset, grid and storage infrastructure that we need at the scale and pace required.

Around the world Capgemini works with organizations to find solutions to the challenges that renewable energy projects face. These include speeding up site identification, land acquisition and associated permissions, overcoming supply chain bottlenecks, developing innovative and cost-effective engineering solutions – from early project phases to commissioning – and identifying commercially attractive resourcing and financing options.

Effective risk and cost management is an essential prerequisite for investors and developers of renewable energy projects. Capgemini’s vast experience is being deployed to help deliver the required project confidence, at development, construction and operational phases.

We use our extensive knowledge of the energy asset ecosystem to ensure robust, futureproof contracting arrangements. We deploy world class engineering excellence and integrate innovative digital and connectivity technologies, with one eye firmly on the latest technical and asset management developments, such as the emergence of new construction materials and techniques. In particular, we closely monitor the rapidly emerging role of AI, and its potential to transform the operational performance and efficiency of large-scale renewable energy production.

As the wind and solar energy sector rapidly scales in the decades to come, huge numbers of new jobs will be created in the construction, operation, maintenance and decommissioning of assets.

At Capgemini we work in close partnership with our client organizations, providing diverse skills, expertise and resources. At the same time, we create a collaborative environment designed to pass on our experience and knowhow, to encourage continuous improvement and help equip those organizations to build their own internal teams, with the capabilities to maximise the performance, value and return on investment of their assets.
This includes supporting the design, global standardization, and deployment of best-in-class renewable business processes. Ensuring that businesses are harmonized across geographies as they grow.

Capgemini’s commitment to sustainability, both within our own organisation, by the actions of our people and our supply chain, and in the way we support our clients, is rooted in our culture and our investment in global research, thought leadership and practical action to achieve an inclusive and sustainable future.

In the wind and solar industries, this approach embraces every aspect of a successful, fully compliant project, from the consideration of environmental impacts within site selection, using sustainable materials throughout construction and operation, recycling strategies and sensitive, low impact decommissioning and demolition, returning the environment to its natural state.
The Capgemini Research Institute is one of the most respected global think tanks, exploring emerging trends and impacts of new technologies on today’s global economy and business world. The Institute works with an international ecosystem of internal and external experts to produce high-quality insights and analysis, investigating some of today’s most pressing challenges and exciting opportunities, from AI and biodiversity, to autonomous networks and climate technologies.
