What is the process of developing a utility-scale solar infrastructure asset?
- Sourcing – it is not feasible to build solar assets on any bit of land. With the expertise of the Gaia Renewables team we can identify the best pieces of land.
- Assessment – once these sites have been identified further analysis must be conducted ensuring safe and effective solar installations that minimise impact on nearby residents and do the maximum amount of good for local wildlife.
- Planning and Approvals – once the correct site has been chosen we will work with local planners and the local DNO to ensure the solar installation meets the requirements of the local authority and the abilities of the local electricity network.
- Design – by looking at the current supply chain and the requirements of the proposed solar farm objectives our design team will create the most effective design.
- Construction – our partner company Shiney Electrical can conduct all construction work ensuring that there is seamless communication between the developer, Gaia Renewables, and our constructor.
- Integration – connecting the installation to the grid both physically and the negotiation of suitable Power Purchasing Agreement (PPA) with an electricity company.
- Management – ongoing management of the asset both in terms of regular physical testing, repanelling, and maintenance, and the repeated renegotiation of PPAs or other electricity generation monetisation opportunities.
