Technical Due Diligence
The Bionaire Wind Farm, backed up with diesel generation, is an innovative hybrid renewable energy project designed to provide a reliable and sustainable power supply. The project combines the power generated from wind turbines with diesel generators, ensuring consistent energy production even during periods of low wind. This hybrid approach optimises the overall efficiency of the power plant and ensures uninterrupted power supply to the local grid.
