Manufacturing & Construction

Overview
The construction phase of a renewable energy project is a critical step where planning becomes reality, directly impacting project timelines, budgets, and long-term performance. It's inherently complex due to the coordination of multiple contractors, adherence to evolving regulatory and environmental standards, and the need for specialised equipment and skilled labor. Effective execution is essential to achieving energy generation targets and securing investor confidence. CoralPoint is here to help plan and deliver major energy infrastructure projects safely and successfully. Our project managers and QHSE practitioners have supported delivery on some of the most significant mega-projects in the renewable energy sector – on- and off-shore.

Capabilities
CoralPoint also supports the renewable energy supply chain industry. We understand that in today’s complex global supply chains, companies face new, changing challenges and opportunities every day. While the renewable energy supply chain in 2025 was marked by rapid growth and falling technology costs, driven by record-high global investments, challenges persist, including heavy reliance on China for key components, infrastructure and permitting bottlenecks, high costs of building domestic supply chains, and constrained access to critical minerals needed for the transition.

Doug Pfeister
Co-Regional Lead, Americas

Doug Pfeister has spent his 30-year career in the US pioneering offshore wind, accelerating the growth of renewable energy more broadly, and advancing environmental causes. Most recently, Doug finished three-and-a-half years as a Partner at the global consultancy ERM leading its renewables advisory practice in the US. Ten years ago, he co-founded The Renewables Consulting Group (RCG) with other directors in the UK, putting the business in the vanguard of companies exporting offshore wind expertise to the US and building the American industry from the ground up. He got his start in offshore wind 20 years ago with Bluewater Wind, a developer that secured the nation’s first federal offshore wind lease, off the coast of Delaware, alongside a 200 MW offtake agreement with the state’s electric utility, Delmarva Power & Light, and in 2010 started the country’s first offshore wind trade association, the Offshore Wind Development Coalition. Doug is a graduate of Stanford University (Bachelor of Arts in Economics, International Relations (with Honors), 1993) and Yale University (Master of Environmental Management, 2000).
