A. Executive Summary
The scope of the project includes the design, procurement, construction and commissioning of a
wind farm in Catalonia region of Spain for Som Energia. The project is planned to begin in January
23rd of October 2019 and the installation will be operative in 16 months. The wind farm will provide
sustainable energy for approximately 6,000 homes and its lifecycle and insurance is for 25 years.
Som Energia is a power production company which is particularly active in the renewable energy
field and starting good collaboration with this company could result in a good future prospect for
Futura Energy. The strategic goal of this project is to develop a key partnership with Som Energia
and gain notoriety and shares of the Spanish renewable energy market. The scope of the project
is to get access to the market.
The forecasted budget is of 30 million euros for a total duration of 16 months, in this amount is
included, the compensation for the company. Futura Energy will not have to invest in this project,
but just have to use the budget invested by Som Energia in a competitive way, in order to provide
a good product but also to gain the right compensation for the work done. The service includes
the mechanical, electrical and civil design of the wind farm, procurement of the construction
material, civil works to construct the site, the erection of the wind turbines and construction of the
facilities to manage the windfarm and its connection with grid. The project delivery method is
‘design-bid-build’.
Once the construction is completed, the wind farm would be handed over to Som Energia who is
the customer. The project also includes the training of the Som Energia technical staff for the
proper operation of the wind farm.
With regard to the regulations the equipment of the park must respect the environmental laws and
must be placed in a site that is far from houses in order to not be dangerous for local people. As
for the new wind farms, there are two aspects of EU directives to be kept in particular consideration
depending on the site of the plant:
1) at the Natura 2000 (Nature Protection Areas in EU) sites and surrounding areas: each new
wind farm which may have effects on one or more Natura 2000 sites must be subject to an
evaluation or gradual impact and, if necessary, provide for the application of the necessary
guarantees procedural protection of the types of species and habitats of community interest
2) anywhere in the EU: the two directives also stipulate that member states protect species of
community interest in their natural area of distribution throughout the EU (Article 5 of the Birds
Directive and Article 12 of the Habitats Directive referred to above). Therefore, each new wind
farm must also take into consideration the possible impacts on species of community interest
(covered by the two directives).
The project will be carried out in accordance with the previous guidelines, otherwise there is a risk
that it will not be completed, due to a failure in obtaining the necessary permits.
B. Business Objectives
1. Business Need/Opportunity/Objectives
Our business objective is to enter the Spanish market with an important work able to guarantee a
good profit. The opportunity to build the wind park is due to an established partnership with Som
Energia. The park should have an energy production of ten megawatt. Therefore 20 turbines are
needed with a production of 500KW for each one. It is near to Barcelona, a very crowded city
which is not fully delivered by green energy. Futura Energy’s aim is to use less fossil energy
sources.

Scope Statement Futura Energy
Scope Statement
For the project we need different functional units to do the workload. In final, there will be a
company to build the wind park organized. Futura energy is just acting in the planning and
administrative way. Therefore, the workload can increase or decrease quickly. At the end of the
project there will be stuff reduction till Futura Energy has a new project to plan on.
The main goals are the following ones:
After considering different turbines from Siemens, Vestas and Enercon, the turbine for building
the wind farm will be the Enercon E40-500, which has a great performance for the environmental
conditions given. The turbines will be ordered at Enercon, the price for one is one million euros.
With this solution is insured high quality turbines and a long-lasting wind park.
With this project we are able to lead a movement away from fossil energy for Barcelona or
furthermore the region of Catalunya. The project will be successful if Som Energia gives our
company new projects and we can make a customer increase of 15% in the next 20 years.

C. Project Description
1. Scope
The project aims to design, procure, construct and commission a wind farm in Catalunya. It is
commissioned by “Som Energia” which must have done in advance the preliminary evaluation
about the geological compatibility of the site; for this reason, in this project will be carried out only
the mechanical, electrical and civil design, has commissioned it.
There would not be any governmental interference during the construction of the project because
the government permissions are up to the customer; on the other hand, everything concerned
about the supplier’s management will be completely carried out by Futura Energy. In this regard
Futura Energy will undertake to choose valid and operating equipment, in particular turbines, that
does not include studies on research and development in order to improve their quality in the
future. That would be another service that will maybe be provided in the future, the improvement
of the plant.
Looking into the technical management of the facility, the project includes training of client
personnel and connection to the national electrical grid. The management and maintenance of the
equipment and also the delivery of energy will be at the exclusive expense of the owner.

4. Constraints
The following table lists the conditional factors the project must respect:
4. Costs The costs of the project cannot get over the project limit.
Therefore, it is required to take care of it and calculate the
costs exactly.
5. Dependency Linkages
This project will start with the authorization of the customer, and the government allowance to
build it in the concrete location. As it is an electrical energy project will be part of the national
electrical grid of Spain as well as one of the energy production plants of Som Energia.
In the future we could do a maintenance or upgrade service to improve the production of the park.
Moreover, for the correct development of the project according to the established schedule, it is
important that the manufacturer of wind turbines to which we rely is able to meet our needs in
terms of time and quality. In order for these fundamental conditions to be met, a contract has been
signed with this company to regulate timing and costs.

6. Impacts
Impacts on the project can be caused by many different matters or furthermore changes. The most
effective impacts would be a necessary retraining of the people involved in the project, a change
in the way of managing the project or the company, an increase in planned costs for the turbines,
building phase or testing and a time delay which isn’t caused by the company itself.
The project success can be measured in different ways. There are significant key figures for
different project levels but the most important level for our success measurement is the project
level. That means that the key figures are giving details about the project state while or after the
project done. The different key figures measured will be therefore schedule compliance, cost
compliance and fulfilling of the planned performance goals.
From the view of the stakeholders the economic level will need to be measured as well, that
includes the customer satisfaction and if all expectations of the stakeholders were met.
Since this project is crucial for the development of the company, we will measure the success
according to the following criteria:
● On-time delivery: The Project should be delivered on time as per the contract
● Respect Budget: The project must respect the budget as per the contract.
● Number of contracts with Som Energia: Since we want to take advantage of this project to
strengthen our collaboration with Som Energia, we will measure its success through the
number of contracts with this specific client in the upcoming years.
● Number of contracts in Spain: Another objective of the project is to enhance our visibility on
the national level, we are going to measure the success also through the numbers of new
contracts in Spain with different clients.
● Company income: The project must be profitable for the company; a success criterion will
be the margin we have on the revenues.
● Gain expertise: As already stated, we are a young company and we still need to gain
competences and sharpen our tools in the management of this sort of project. For this
reason, we will consider this project a success if the lesson learned will avoid the repetition
of problems in future projects.
● Safety: Safety is very important for Futura Energy. For this reason, we consider the
avoidance of major injuries as a success criterion.
8. Assumptions
There are a few assumptions need to be defined before the project activities take place.
1. The wind resource assessment is required to ensure that there is a good wind
potential where the wind park is going to build.
2. The community around the wind park needs to accept the wind park.
3. The project must be financiered with the provided budget.
4. The place where the wind park is going to be build up must be huge enough to
place 20 turbines.
If all the conditions listed above are fulfilled the project activities can take place.

D. Project Approach
Planned Approach
The project can be classified into five different phases: initiation, planning, execution, control and
closing. The description of each phase is following below.
Initiation
Upon authorization of the wind farm project, a project charter will be drafted and finalized formally
identifying project goals, scope, project organization and providing a summary of objectives and
management. Furthermore, anticipation approach is adopted for the project therefore a project
kickoff meeting would be held where all stakeholders both internal and external would be involved.
This meeting would help to clarify the scope and ensure a complete understanding of the project’s
requirements. This would result in a formal start of the project.
11/04/2019 Page 11 of 30
Scope Statement Futura Energy
Scope Statement
Planning
During the planning phase, the project management team will initiate the planning of the project
and hold an informal public consultation with residents and governing figures of Catalunya to
address issues and answer any questions. Site investigations and initiation of a pre-feasibility
report and feasibility analysis report will be done in house. Formalization of land leases and the
power purchase agreement with the Government will prompt the design phase. During the
planning stage, a project schedule will also be created so that progress on the project can be
tracked.
Execution
During the design phase of execution, project engineers, designers and technologist will prepare
preliminary and detailed design specifications and drawings as per reports and site analysis which
will be reviewed at 50% and 75% completion to ensure requirements are being met and all quality
procedures are being followed by the design team.
After design phase, contract documents will be tendered for the bidding phase, upon which a
contractor will be selected. A contract statement of work will be drafted and finalized prompting
the mobilization phase.
From the beginning of this stage the relevant teams would be working to secure permits, bonds,
licenses and insurance required before the start of mobilization phase to prevent the project from
getting delayed.
During the mobilization phase, equipment and resources will be mobilized to prepare the site for
the site work phase. The delivery of the turbines and the transformers would also occur during this
phase. While the mobilization phase is taking place the training of the local crew would take place
so that they are ready for the site work.
In the site work phase all the civil engineering work would be completed and the erection of the
turbines would take place. These turbines would then be connected to the electrical system so
that they are ready to be used. Which would finish the site work phase.
Control
This stage involves activation of the power system and verification that all the equipment and
infrastructure that make up the wind farm complies of specifications and code guaranteeing its
operability in terms of performance, reliability, safety and information traceability. Upon completion
of all tests of the power system and auxiliary equipment, a report will be documented stating all
requirements have been met and commercial commissioning is approved. During this stage it is
made sure that the work onsite also complies with the technical requirements set forth in the
contract documents.
In the managerial phase of the control stage maintenance documentation would be created and
user acceptance testing would be done to ensure that the user approves the project. There are
three activities in the control stage which would be done throughout the project these includes
initiating project status meetings, to ensure that the project is going on track, risk management, to
manage any uncertainty in the project, and updating and controlling project plan.

Close out
Project closeout phase will conclude all activities of the project. The site will be cleaned and
construction equipment and materials will be taken off site. Access roads will be restored to their
original vegetative condition and erosion control will be implemented. The transition of the project
to client will be formalized with activities like inaugurating and handover marking the project’s
completion.
This phase will also include project “post-mortem” meeting, finalizing all subcontracts, archiving
project documentation, and performing a “lessons learned” report to formally close the project.
A warranty period will address any warranty issues to the power system and warranty service will
be provided for up to six months.

F. Project Controls
Typical project controls are steering committee meetings, monthly status reports, risk
management assessment and mitigation planning and monitoring, issue management, change
management, and communication management. They are itemized in the following points below.
Numerous meetings are held on a weekly basis and involve the high-level decision-making
authorities of the project, in order to check that it is being carried out correctly and that it is on
time. Aside from the general guidance of the project and instructing the project/program manager,
steering committees are entrusted with the decisions that ultimately determine how the project will
look upon conclusion. Some common tasks and decisions steering committees deal with include:
The progress of the project will be monitored monthly, summarizing achievements and delays
occurring during the previous month. Pinpointing the causes for them and looking to find short-
and long-term solutions and improvements.
3. Risk Management
The project’s risks are closely monitored to ensure its safety, and if needed, mitigation actions can
be applied accordingly.
The strategy is to allocate the contingency funds to the relative WBE, when the risk is “closed” so
the uncertainty disappear it can be used because the risk occurred and it impacted the project, or
release to margin because the risk has not occurred.
4. Issue Management
Any issues regarding the project will be thoroughly recorded in an issue database. Specifying
issue details and actions taken, as well as people involved. Its current status and update reports
will be closely monitored by the team. All Issues will be informed in the project status report.
Special meetings for issue monitoring will be held once a month, where progress of the solutions
will be analyzed and discussed, seeking improvement and effectiveness.
5. Change Management
All change requests will be submitted and reviewed accordingly by the team and project manager.
Considering scope, costs, and alternatives. All change requests will need their appropriate
approval.
11/04/2019 Page 17 of 30
Scope Statement Futura Energy
Scope Statement
Any change made in the Project Management Plan will be recorded in a change database. Further
tracking of the effects of these changes will also be recorded.
6. Communication Management
In order to ensure proper and effective communication, the following actions need to be taken:
The project team have weekly update meetings to review the work done and determine priorities.
In these meetings the project status is presented weekly, including progress, issues,
improvements and changes made during the week. Urgent matters are highlighted and discussed
with the appropriate team members.
The project status is presented to the project sponsors once every two weeks, highlighting
completed tasks and important decisions made during this time frame. In that moment the project
manager provides to the project sponsor reports about meeting minutes, developments done in
the two weeks before, problems and possible solutions about the project status.
All important documents and data that all people involved should have access too, will be uploaded
and daily updated in a private project web site.
