BACKGROUND
Following acquisition of a third-party managed operational windfarm, major planning and environmental issues were identified on site.
ENERGYPRO ACTIONS
Given the issues’ scale and complexity, the client decided to engage EnergyPro / GES to:
Prepare, develop and implement an Operational Stage Environmental Management Plan (OSEMP)
Lead compliance activities, principally in relation to ecology (habitat management and bird/bat vantage point and fatality monitoring), noise and shadow flicker Lead noise and shadow flicker monitoring campaigns
Manage and co-ordinate planning compliance and enforcement submissions
Manage and co-ordinate planning applications and forestry (felling) licencing consent applications (turbulence felling & mitigatory habitat).
Provide advice/input on legal submissions and responses to legal challenges to the windfarm.
RESULTS
The windfarm which was potentially in breach of a number of planning and environmental issues was brought back under compliance, and legal challenges to the windfarm were effectively dealt with.
“We act as if we own the project .”
