What we do

Creating value from greenfield development to operational excellence

Pre-development

Development

During the project development phase Wattcrop undertakes the responsibility to complete all necessary reports and submit the necessary documentation to the authorities in order to acquire the project licensing. Furthermore, we design the full set of layouts and electrical schematics necessary for the grid connection. During the auction phase, Wattcrop develops a bidding strategy based on a number of pricing assumptions and factors.
