Cotanum GmbH is proposing strategic changes to improve the efficiency of wind energy projects. Currently, projects take 12-19 months for phases I and II with significant cost overruns. This delays projects and makes investors reluctant. Cotanum aims to reduce development time by 30% and cut costs by 25% through clearer planning, structure and forecasting. Their proposal for phase I was accepted in January 2016 and they are working on a phase II proposal. They will provide updates and present phase II results in late summer 2016 to improve project parameters and Europe's clean energy future.
