EDP Renewables (EDPR), a global leader in renewable energy, sought expert guidance to unlock opportunities for wind, solar, and battery storage developments across England and Scotland.
Their goal was clear: secure strategically located land and establish the necessary agreements to progress applications with local Distribution Network Operators (DNOs), ensuring timely access to the grid and the best chance of development success.
Achieving this required more than technical expertise. We combined thorough land referencing with swift and effective engagement, identifying priority landowners and securing agreements critical to the project’s progression. By understanding EDPR’s objectives and aligning efforts with their strategic vision, our team ensured that tight deadlines were met without compromising quality.
The development in Yorkshire and The Humber, still in its early stages, represents a significant contribution to the UK’s renewable energy infrastructure. Key sites have been identified, and the groundwork laid to move projects forward, supporting the nation’s shift towards a greener, more sustainable future.
Throughout not only this project, but several with EDPR, fostering positive relationships remained a priority. Transparent communication and a professional approach built trust with landowners, while providing EDPR with confidence in the trajectory of early stage prospects. By balancing the needs of all stakeholders, we ensured that both the client and landowners felt valued and supported, creating the ideal foundation for long-term success.
Ash and Rachel both work as fantastic team to identify landowners within areas EDP have identified as being suitable for the development of wind turbines across the UK. The key element for me has been to see Ash not being afraid to pick up the phone and talk to landowners. I feel this has been key to opening a dialogue and in some instances creating relationships between landowners and EDP.
