Energy
Member of Renewable UK, Fraser Paskell advises both developers and land owners in connection with:
• |
On shore wind farms; |
• |
Off shore wind farms |
We have years of experience, dealing with approximately 86km of high voltage cable connections, serving generation potential approaching 1 GW between offshore wind farms and the on shore grid - enough to power approximately 660,000 houses. We also advise on development agreements for the land owners.
Present schemes have values well in excess of £2billion, we are procuring underground cable connections, but also liaising with the Crown and regulatory authorities at senior levels as well as working closely with developers, environmental scientists and land agents.
Examples of our work in the area include:
• |
Advising Scira Offshore Energy on the acquisition of rights over 23km of land to connect an offshore wind farm to the National Grid, supporting the environmental impact assessment of that project and dealing with planning issues; and |
• |
Early stage advice on the second largest wind farm in the world, examining compulsory purchase and route options for the onshore connection. |
