Climate change has increased the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, making flood risk assessment an essential part of renewable energy planning. Solar, wind, and hybrid projects are often located in open landscapes, making them highly vulnerable to floods, heavy rainfall, and rising water levels. Without proper assessment and mitigation, these risks can lead to costly damage and operational downtime.
Why Flood Risk Assessment Matters
Infrastructure Protection: Safeguards equipment such as transformers, inverters, and modules from water damage.
Project Bankability: Investors and lenders demand assurance that climate risks are well managed.
Operational Continuity: Minimizes downtime and ensures consistent energy generation.
Regulatory Compliance: Aligns projects with environmental and safety standards.
