The majority of Epuron’s work is in green field project development. In this role, Epuron carries the project from its initiation through to the point where it is ready for construction. Activities typically include:
- identifying and screening potential sites using Epuron’s wind monitoring network and detailed mapping
- identifying relevant landowners and negotiating appropriate land agreements
- consulting with key stakeholders within the local community, government agencies and other interested parties
- constructing, operating and maintaining solar monitoring equipment, wind monitoring masts and SODARs
- resource and yield assessment for both solar and wind energy
- preparing initial concept designs for the site (including equipment sizing, site layout, and micro-siting)
- managing development studies, planning applications and approvals
- managing grid connection studies, applications and approvals
- project feasibility assessment , financial modelling and power off-take negotiations
- wind turbine / solar array and balance of plant selection and procurement
Epuron’s broad experience allows it to tailor requirements to each project, and thereby provide an optimal development.
