This advisory document, titled "Cyclone Preparedness for Renewable Energy Projects: General Advisory to Power Sector Utilities with a Special Focus on Renewables," was published by the Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure (CDRI) in 2023. It provides practical guidance to enhance the resilience of onshore wind and solar power projects against cyclones and high-wind events, aiming to minimize damage, ensure personnel safety, and maintain operational continuity in vulnerable regions.

The document outlines technical risks, such as rotor overspeed in wind turbines, structural failures in solar panels, flooding impacts, and grid outages. It features detailed checklists for preparedness during operations, including maintenance of critical systems like backup power, drainage, and yaw/pitch mechanisms for wind projects, and module integrity, racking torque, and electrical connections for solar installations.

Structured into three sections, it covers specific advisories for wind and solar projects, plus general measures for transmission and distribution networks. Key recommendations include risk assessments, forming emergency response teams, implementing communication systems, evacuation planning, infrastructure securing, and post-event restoration protocols like damage assessments and phased restarts.
