Typical situation no. 5
A developer has identified 12 ha on the edge of a business park, 6 km from a 225 kV substation. The land is zoned for future development (AU) in the local land-use plan (PLU). The mayor is supportive, but the PLU amendment has not been launched.
WHAT IS BLOCKING
- An AU zone cannot be built on as it stands: a PLU amendment or revision is required, sometimes with an environmental assessment.
- Planning lead times can exceed those of the grid connection and become the real critical path.
- The project will probably require an environmental permitting procedure (generators, fuel oil storage, refrigerants).
WHAT WE DO
- Analysis of the zone regulations, development guidelines and easements.
- Inventory of the required procedures: planning, environment, possible public consultation.
- Construction of an integrated schedule for planning, permits and grid connection.
- Identification of the points to secure with the municipality and the inter-municipal authority.
WHAT YOU GET
- A realistic permitting schedule, with the critical path.
- The list of studies to launch and their sequence.
- An opinion on the feasibility of a 60 MW project on this site.
Typical format: Feasibility pre-study, about three weeks. Every assignment is scoped in writing before it starts.
