Energy

By 2030 the Scottish Government intend to generate 50% of overall energy consumption from renewable sources, and by 2050 aim to have decarbonised the energy system almost completely. 

ENERGY

Renewable and low carbon energy will provide the foundation of future energy generation and are key drivers for both economic and industrial growth.
As an example of the ambition of the targets to be achieved, by 2030 the Scottish Government intend to generate 50% of overall energy consumption from renewable sources, and by 2050 aim to have decarbonised the energy system almost completely. 
EnviroCentre have a long established track record in providing environmental solutions for the energy sector ranging from environmental assessment to support planning for renewable projects through to construction phase ecological and environmental clerk of works for grid transmission infrastructure and energy generation projects.

RENEWABLE ENERGY

Renewable and alternative energy sources that we have worked on range from solar, wave and tidal, to wind farms, hydro schemes and biomass. 
Our team has significant experience when it comes to providing environmental consultancy services for wind and solar farms. Whether your project requires an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), pre-construction surveys, Ecological Clerk of Works (ECoW), or other environmental services, our multidisciplinary team can help you meet your objectives.
We have experience in creating a variety of management plans for wind farms including, but not limited to, species protection, habitat management, ornithology monitoring, drainage, waste management, peat management, pollution prevention, fisheries management and water quality monitoring.
Post-construction monitoring can also be carried out by our team to support your project such as for bird surveys, tree planting, bracken control and other activities.
EnviroCentre has supported a wide range of hydro schemes over the years, from hydrological assessments, outline designs and consultation with regulatory stakeholders, to the production of Construction Method Statements, Environmental Management Plans and ECoW during construction.
We are looking forward to creating and strengthening our partnerships within this sector over the coming decades, as the infrastructure for the generation and distribution of renewable energy develops further.

TRANSMISSION & DISTRIBUTION

Connecting people with power requires effective transmission from the energy source to the grid.
New electrical substations need to be built and existing ones upgraded to meet our new energy generation ambitions. EnviroCentre can carry out  a range of services including geo-environmental, flood risk and drainage assessments in addition to offering drainage strategy, flood management and noise assessment services to support the grid infrastructure sector.
EnviroCentre’s project experience includes the provision of environmental services for proposed overhead and underground transmission lines and grid connection lines. Services engaged include EIAs, where studies on the water environment, ecology, geology and soils, and construction noise were carried out.
We have provided construction phase support for a number of grid connection projects (including offshore windfarm connections) and substation infrastructure. This has incorporated environmental and ecological clerk of works including water quality monitoring, water supply risk assessment, pollution prevention and surface water management as well as fish pass feasibility and design.

DECARBONISATION

As part of the move to a low carbon economy there is a requirement to review existing energy generation with a view to development of carbon capture systems. 
EnviroCentre have provided a range of services in relation to carbon capture projects including Environmental Impact Assessment, Construction Environment Management Plans, Geo-Environmental Assessment and Environmental Licensing and Permitting considerations.
