Throughout the development process, as early as pre-application discussions with planners and consultees, through to community engagement, we see our role as bringing all stakeholders onboard with us on our projects. Through careful design, open dialogue and community benefits, we believe we can bring forward projects which comply with the relevant policy, will gain local support as well as support from statutory and non-statutory project consultees.

Engaging stakeholders early in the development process sets the foundation for successful project delivery. From initial discussions with planners and consultees to pre-application consultations, our approach emphasises transparency and collaboration. By addressing potential concerns and gathering feedback early, we strive to ensure that our projects align with planning and environmental policies and guidelines, meet and exceed environmental mitigation requirements, as well as meeting community expectations.

Community engagement is at the heart of stakeholder management. We actively engage with local communities to build trust and foster support for our projects. Through open dialogue, clear communication, and addressing concerns directly, we create a sense of shared purpose. Community benefits packages, tailored to local needs, further demonstrate our commitment to delivering value beyond energy generation. We are committed to including community shared ownership as a core part of our community benefit offering.

Navigating the complexities of policies, guidance and regulations requires precision and expertise. Our team ensures compliance with all relevant policies while aligning project designs with the needs of stakeholders, including statutory and non-statutory consultees. By proactively managing relationships and maintaining open communication, we gain approvals and support that drive projects forward.

Our projects are designed not just to meet energy goals but to deliver meaningful benefits to the communities involved. From funding local initiatives to enhancing infrastructure and creating sustainable opportunities, we ensure our projects leave a lasting positive impact. By aligning these benefits with stakeholder expectations, we turn renewable energy projects into collaborative successes.
