Our Core Team
Our core team has a combined background totalling nearly 40 years of project development experience, including over 20 years working in the UK and US wind power industries, such that we are fully aware of the challenges that developers face in making projects happen.
From this experience we understand the detail involved in taking projects from the initial concept stage, through feasibility assessment to reality on the ground. This will involve financial viability studies, wind resource assessment, wind farm design and managing the environmental assessment process.
