Wind and Solar

Wind and solar installations will play 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, and overcoming supply chain bottlenecks. We’re developing innovative and cost-effective engineering solutions 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. We consider the latest technical and asset management developments too, such as the emergence of new construction materials and techniques. And 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. We also 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.

Capgemini’s commitment to sustainability, both within our own organization, by the actions of our people and our supply chain, is rooted in our culture. We invest in global research, thought leadership and practical action to contribute to an inclusive and sustainable future.

In the wind and solar industries, this approach embraces every aspect of a successful, fully compliant project. We assess the environmental impacts within site selection and use sustainable materials throughout construction and operation. We develop comprehensive recycling strategies and sensitive, low impact decommissioning and demolition approaches, to return the environment to its natural state.
