Experienced Leadership at Every Phase EDF Renewable Energy engages in a rigorous process to identify and evaluate Origination the potential of prospective sites taking into account renewable energy resource, transmission, interconnection, permitting, and environmental concerns. A comprehensive analysis is conducted to identify any potential permitting or site issues that may jeopardize project progression. Our extensive vetting process ensures only the best suited sites are selected, leading to fewer obstacles and fatal flaws in the development process. Once a site is identified, EDF Renewable Energy begins a thorough site-development Development protocol. Our Resource Assessment Group analyzes the energy potential of the site often by installing equipment to measure various meteorological data. The combination of the resource potential and technology choice provide critical information that is used to produce a site design and provide an energy yield that optimizes project goals. A renewable energy model is used to determine the optimal layout for the greatest electricity generation results. At the same time, land is acquired, interconnection rights and necessary permits are secured, and environmental and technical studies are performed according to best of class development practices.
