Sustainable Project Delivery in the Renewable Energy Sector

Abstract

The shift to renewable energy is an important aspect of international sustainable development, but the implementation of projects of this nature is a challenging issue on the way to sustainability. This paper reviews the cross-functional route towards sustainable project delivery in the renewable energy space by deploying business analytics, green supply chain management, engineering management, as well as agile project approaches. Based on an ample examination of existing literature as well as industry trends, the paper underlines the impact that data-driven decision-making, environment-friendly supply chain, efficient engineering management, and flexible agile models can have together on the sustainability and efficiency of renewable energy projects. The new solution will also help resolve such important issues as optimization of resources, alignment of all the stakeholders, and resilience of project implementation. This study also adds value to the existing body of knowledge since it will introduce a comprehensive framework that can be implemented by project managers, engineers, and policymakers to enhance project completion by doing their part in achieving environmental and economic goals. Practical recommendations and the course of future research are considered as well.
