The first step in the development of any renewable, or power generation, project is conducting a feasibility assessment to analyze project viability and gain an understanding of development risk. Drawing on our full range of in-house capabilities, GCR produce and deliver comprehensive studies, customized to individual client requirements.
A feasibility assessment would generally include the following:
Initial concept design and technology review, including recommendations on layout, scale and infrastructure design;
Consideration and mapping of the key environmental and technical constraints (to ‘flag’ any potential concerns) and making recommendations for further work to manage risk, where necessary;
Project constructability review;
Interconnection options and grid connection feasibility review;
Initial resource and energy yield estimate; and
Permitting strategy and advice.
The feasibility assessment clearly identifies a proposed plan for the development of the project, which allows our clients to make strategic decisions with regards to progressing the project to the next stage.
