Baseline trailer-mounted generator used for temporary and emergency power generation.

Due diligence and risk assessment Overview

Because of the risks involved in financing energy projects, financial institutions and developers depend on qualified third-party assessment of project risks, from inception and operation to covering the life of the projects. Each financed project has its own attributes governing its technical, legal, and economic objectives. Danovo Energy Solutions experts, advisors, and analysts are fully immersed in the technical, legal, and economic risks of the energy industry. We are aware of possible ways to measure and mitigate (to the extent possible) identified risks. We are also aware of these diverse risks from the project developer side as well as from the potential investors and debt providers’ sides.
