Marine Consultancy - Renewable Energy
EMU Limited is a specialist in renewable energy and has been involved in assisting clients in their site selection process for R2, Scottish Territorial Waters and R3 developments. In the initial site selection process, EMU will broadly highlight the environmental, socio-economic and technical issues of a given site through a combination of short term consultation, desk based studies and expert knowledge thereby allowing the client to make a site selection based on accepted scientific fact. Once a site has been selected, EMU’s team of specialist environmental consultants will further assess the site on a number of feasibility factors including geotechnical and geophysical analysis, environmental constraints and current uses.
Offshore renewable energy projects present significant challenges beyond those of working in a hostile environment. EMU has staff trained in stakeholder engagement and conciliation, legislation and consenting specialists and highly experienced project managers. Through our work with the National Grid and The Crown Estate on issues such as Due Diligence assessments and the development of Zone Appraisal and Planning Guidance (ZAP) we consider ourselves to be at the forefront of developments in the legislative and regulatory requirements relating to renewables.
