Sector

Ecosulis has been involved in a wide diversity of energy sector projects.  Recently this experience has been further enhanced with the development of an EIA department who concentrate predominantly on this sector.  Our EIA team have expertise in the approach to application to both Local Planning Authorities (LPAs)and central government.

Our experience covers most technologies.  For instance, in the renewables sector we are currently actively involved in wind, solar photovoltaic, energy from waste and anaerobic digestion projects.  We understand sector specific methodologies and strive to for technical excellence in all we do; for instance Ecosulis recently presented a paper on consenting risk management strategies for ETSU-R-97  noise assessment for the Association of European Lawyers. 

Asides from renewables we are actively involved in thermal power projects and Rod Ellison has successfully headed up to two EIA applications for CCGTs with a combined output in excess of 1700 MWe.  Currently we are supporting developers securing consent and operational permits for a number of sub 50 MWe STOR projects.

Whilst working on large energy sector project we have managed surveys and  consent applications for significant supporting infrastructure; for instance cross country pipelines, cable connectors, Above Ground Installation, Sub Stations, Pressure Reduction Stations etcetera.

Central to our approach is the reduction of consenting risk on large complex applications.  We are always working towards increasing certainty for our clients.  Our in-house ecological expertise complements energy sector development; for instance expertise in brownfield ecology and bird and bat surveys.
