A feasibility analysis is the examination of the technical/economic realisability of projects. Possible solutions for a project are assessed in terms of their feasibility. These solutions are analysed, the prospects of success are assessed and risks are identified. It is checked whether the agreed project results can be achieved with the solution approach under the given framework conditions. The feasibility study is used in particular to assess the economic risks of a project and to check whether the project objectives are achievable.
What is a feasibility analysis?
A feasibility analysis serves as the basis for deciding whether a project should be realised. It also contains the specifications for how the project should be implemented and provides the framework for the scope of the project.
Why is a feasibility analysis also interesting for me?
You are planning a major technical project and want to know whether the investment is worthwhile. Then it makes sense to have a feasibility analysis carried out in advance. This will tell you whether your project will lead to economic success and which influencing factors will change the profitability.
Such analyses are particularly recommended for energy supply systems. In most cases, different generation variants are compared with each other.
A feasibility analysis is a prerequisite for the right investment decision. The following planning and conceptual steps are worked out here:
Example from one of our offers
... The aim of the study offered is to optimise and improve steam generation and steam utilisation in terms of efficiency and cost-effectiveness and consequently to reduce overall energy costs in this area. This is the result of an initial analysis that has already been carried out and presented to you.
As part of this initial analysis, the energy bills and load profile data (electricity and natural gas) were made available to us and analysed by eta Energieberatung. At the joint meeting, we discussed the energy and technical systems and processes at the sites. Based on the findings from the initial analysis, various optimisation approaches were discussed. It became clear that it makes sense to carry out a feasibility study in the area of steam generation and utilisation at one site ...

Selected projects
We have prepared feasibility analyses, expert reports and the like for these industrial companies.
As part of the company’s internal sustainability strategy, the company is expanding its existing energy supply with several wood gasification CHP units, biomass boilers, a large buffer storage and several PV systems. The aim is to generate climate-friendly and renewable electricity and heat to supply the company’s own production halls.
In order for a change of ownership or transfer to proceed smoothly, important points must be clarified and agreed upon in advance. For the new owner, the value of the object is particularly important. For this reason, Karsdorfer Wohnungsbau GmbH needs an expert opinion on the value of the heating house and the district heating network.
In the project different approaches to waste heat utilisation were analysed technically and economically. Waste heat sources and sinks were compared and concepts were developed, for which the funding possibilities according to the “Bundesförderung für Energieberatung im Mittelstand” were researched.
