Renewable Energy Logistics

Enabling the energy transition to renewable power


The transition to renewable energy is powering forward. Renewables companies are scaling up to deliver power generating infrastructure and meet growing demand for alternative energy sources. Power generation is becoming more decentralized and distributed, and supply chain complexity is increasing, so robust, flexible logistics support is a vital component in the success of renewables businesses. Better visibility and stringent controls are essential. Replacing fossil fuel production equipment with renewables equipment of the same capacity is predicted to need a 1,000x increase in global logistics capacity.

We are specialist partners to the wind and solar sectors, applying end-to-end industry leading best practises and sustainable solutions.

DHL ensures that customers have the resources they need when they need them. We manage the inbound flow of materials and tools, increasing efficiency, productivity, and production. We can reduce procurement and supply chain costs, optimize stock holding and increase inventory accuracy.

Supply Chain Visibility

DHL provides customers with complete materials visibility and traceability throughout the renewable energy supply chain and is particularly critical for both on and offshore wind installations. Improved visibility reduces costs and stoppages, as well as ensuring project continuity.

Capital Project Logistics

Our global energy supply chain capabilities allow us to consolidate shipments and reduce transportation costs while safely handling all forms of cargo to and on-site. Our innovative planning solutions help customers shape and implement the complex logistics needs for capital projects.
