Investigation and Site Acquisition

The initial assessment of potential wind farm sites is an important service to clients. We are able to offer comprehensive concept studies to assess the complex interaction of technical, environmental, meteorological and commercial influences. These studies ensure essential issues are identified at project conception, prior to any serious financial commitment.

We also have significant expertise in the negotiation of rights to wind farm sites, including the provision of legal and property services.

Services available include:

• wind monitoring and environmental data collection processing and analysis
• concept and pre-feasibility studies
  • energy assessment
  • environmental assessment
  • transmission/connection
  • system integration
• landholder negotiations
• site acquisitions
• community consultation
• market valuation
  • property requirements
  • legal requirements.

Our services are a unique risk assessment-based approach, which identifies and assesses key areas of project risk early in the project. Major risks are assessed and quantified before large development costs are committed, ensuring that risk falls as increasing expenditure is incurred and abortive expenditure is avoided.

This approach has been used to provide fast and effective service for projects in Australia, New Zealand and across the Asia Pacific region.

Examples of projects undertaken are:

• wind monitoring on numerous sites in Tasmania since 1978 
• wind monitoring at Starfish Hill, South Australia, for ETSA Utilities
• wind diesel site identification for Australian Antarctic Division, Macquarie Island
• site identification for WEL Networks New Zealand
• site identification and acquisition for the entire portfolio of Hydro Tasmania and Roaring Forties Renewable Energy Pty Ltd wind farms across Australia and New Zealand.
