Renewable energy technologies each have their own particular requirements and limitations the levels of which can have significant effects on the feasibility and economic viability of a proposal. These in turn are likely to be dependent on the scale of the scheme as well as the overall objectives and requirements. EcoGen is an independent company with the experience to provide impartial advice on all aspects of renewable energy - no matter what size.
Principle considerations are likely to be;
- availability of the resource; i.e. mean wind speeds; water flow rates and abstraction licences; proximity and supply of biofuel.
- visual intrusion in the landscape;
- ecology of the site;
- noise issues;
- proximity to an existing grid line (if the intention is to sell the power);
- site access.
