Constraints Mapping and Bid Support for UK Round 3 Development Zones, Confidential Client, UKSgurrEnergy has recently completed a review of the different constraints which could affect the development, construction and operation of wind farms within each of the 9 designated Round 3 sites as identified by Crown Estates in the UK. Our work has also looked at the impact on capital and operating costs resulting from differences in zone size, distance from shore, grid connection issues and potential site conditions. Having completed our review of all 9 sites we are now conducting a detailed constraints and economic assessment of our client’s short-listed Round 3 sites. |
SgurrEnergy conducted pre-feasibility studies for a large water utility to assess the potential of five water treatment sites for wind turbine development. For each site this included assessment of wind resource using met data, consideration of technical, environmental and planning constraints, identification of grid connection options, initial layout design and an initial indication of energy yield and economic viability.
SgurrEnergy assessed the feasibility of developing wind and hydro-energy projects within the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park. The Study included an opportunity assessment, an investigation into legislative, planning and environmental constraints. It also provided the Park Authority with advice on technology options and scale based upon resource feasibility and the financial viability of project development. An overview of other renewable energy sources; solar thermal, solar photovoltaic, ground source heat pumps and biomass was also covered in the study.
China offshore wind energy development, CRESP, Fujian, ChinaAs an internationally recognised expert in the development of renewable energy projects, SgurrEnergy was engaged through the China Renewable Energy Scale-up Programme (CRESP, which consists of the Government of China and major international bodies such as the World Bank) to evaluate multiple offshore sites along the Chinese coast. Our role includes:
The results of our work will form a central part of the Government’s strategy for developing offshore wind projects for China. |
SgurrEnergy conducted a site selection study followed by an investigation into the feasibility of developing a community wind farm on North Yell, Shetland. This project is being progressed by the community and SgurrEnergy continues to provide technical support for the project. SgurrEnergy achieved considerable success by getting the MoD to lift a standing objection to the wind farm and we are now supporting and advising the community on the production of an Environmental Statement for the wind farm.
