01 | About MEGAJOULE
MEGAJOULE has been founded in February 2004 by three engineers with a solid background and experience as wind energy consultants, and wind resource assessment in particular.
Throughout its eight years of activity, MEGAJOULE operated more than 200 met masts for wind assessment purposes, on behalf of its clients, performed wind resource assessment studies for more than 16 GW of wind capacity and participated in several due diligence processes, for financing or negotiation of wind farm projects or portfolios. MEGAJOULE is also active in solar resource assessment, having performed studies and due diligences for more than 300 MW of projects in Portugal, Spain, Bulgaria, East Timor, Brazil, Romania and South Africa.
Furthermore, MEGAJOULE is very active internationally, with offices in Portugal, Brazil, Poland, Romania and a local partner in Turkey. The international market represented, in 2011, more than 50% of MEGAJOULE’s turnover.
Our track record contemplates projects performed in several different countries: Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Slovakia, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Bosnia, Moldova, Ukraine, Greece, Israel, Brazil, Uruguay, USA, Mexico, Angola, Cape Verde, South Africa, Australia, East-Timor, Ireland, United Kingdom and Turkey.
MEGAJOULE created an innovation branch, MEGAJOULE Inovação, dedicated to advanced flow and mesoscale modelling. Counting on the expertise of meteorologist and PhD specialized in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) MEGAJOULE intends to develop new methodologies and services in the near future. Evermore, the CFD has established itself as an essential tool to simulate wind flow over complex terrain, but also a way to mitigate uncertainty on the project.
In what concerns training, MEGAJOULE organizes, in cooperation with Lusófona University of Porto, a Post-Graduation in Renewable Energies, which has concluded three editions.
