How We Do It
Developing Renewable Projects
Site Assessment & Feasibility
Laying the Foundation for a Successful Project
Before committing to development, we conduct comprehensive site evaluations of project viability. Our team assesses land potential, technical feasibility, and environmental impact—leveraging in-house expertise and industry specialists.
Key Factors We Assess:
- Wind or solar resource availability.
- Spatial, environmental, and planning constraints.
- Grid connection feasibility and nearby infrastructure.
- Potential impact on landscape, noise, aviation, and heritage sites.
Securing Land Agreements
Partnering with Landowners for Long-Term Success
Our relationship with landowners is the foundation of every project. We establish clear, fair agreements that allow projects to move forward while ensuring landowners benefit financially from renewable energy development.
How We Secure Land:
- Exclusivity Agreements – Allow feasibility studies without competition.
- Option for Lease – A flexible, long-term agreement for project rights.
- Access & Grid Rights – Securing routes for grid connections, component delivery and maintenance.
Grid Connections
Connecting Renewable Energy to the Network
A project is only viable if it can connect to the grid. We use our deep understanding of distribution and transmission networks to secure reliable connections—navigating complex technical and financial requirements.
Our Grid Process:
- Identify grid capacity & potential connection points early.
- Submit grid applications to Distribution (DNO) & Transmission (TSO) Operators.
- Manage all financial commitments & milestone requirements to keep projects on track.
Planning & Stakeholder Engagement
Navigating the Planning Process with Expertise
Securing planning approval is one of the most complex stages of development. We manage all legal, environmental, and stakeholder requirements to maximize the chance of success.
How We Secure Planning Approvals:
- Conduct environmental impact & technical studies.
- Engage with local authorities, regulators, and communities early.
- Prepare & submit high-quality planning applications with expert input.
Post-Submission & Final Approvals
Managing the Approval Process
Even after submission, our work isn’t done. We continue proactive engagement with stakeholders to secure agreements and ensure the project remains on track.
Key Post-Submission Activities:
- Addressing stakeholder feedback.
- Securing aviation, environmental, and planning agreements.
- Preparing for final planning committee approvals.
Pre-Construction & Procurement
Bridging the Gap Between Approval & Build-Readiness
Once planning consent is granted, we finalise all technical, financial, and procurement steps to prepare for construction.
Pre-Construction Work Includes:
- Discharging pre-commencement planning conditions.
- Conducting engineering & infrastructure surveys.
- Securing contractors & supply chain agreements.
Handover & Future-Proofing
Delivering Fully Developed, Ready-to-Build Projects
At REG Power, we develop projects, not consultancy services. When a project is fully consented, grid-secured, and investment-ready, we transition it to trusted investment partners to ensure seamless execution.
Final Steps Before Construction:
- Handover to construction & operational partners.
- Investor & M&A support for financing and ownership transfer.
- Repowering & long-term site management to future-proof renewable assets.
