What can affect the deliverability of a cable route?
We highlight some of the main challenges to installing an underground cable and delivering the cable route for an energy project
How close does an energy scheme need to be to an electricity network?
We look at how far a site can be from an EHV network, and at what point it might become unviable
What are circuit ratings?
What explain what is meant by circuit rating and the impact on developers looking to connect new demand, generation or energy storage projects

Don’t take a risk with energy agreements
Landowners must think twice before signing renewable energy agreements as they could end up tied into astronomical bills and unsuccessful projects, or be unable to successfully negotiate rents and lease terms.
Exclusivity agreements for energy schemes: pitfalls and opportunities
In seeking to achieve a solar, wind or energy storage scheme, one of the first steps a developer will take is to secure an exclusivity agreement with the landowner. We take a closer look at exclusivity agreements, speaking to the expert team at Renew Legal, to understand what they are, the issues that can arise from them and if there are alternative approaches.
Webinar: Maximising chances of achieving large-scale energy schemes

Tom Barrow, Knight Frank
Championing Hugh for public speaking "Hugh was invited by the RICS Gloucestershire & Cotswolds CPD group to speak at Royal Agricultural University. He provided an update on the renewables industry and highlighted the issues and opportunities presented by electrical grid constraints across the UK. Emerging energy opportunities and the potential in energy storage were also covered. It was an inspired presentation and challenged the way Chartered Surveyors think about power. Hugh also gave an excellent presentation at the RICS National Rural Conference at the Royal Agricultural University in June 2016." Tom Barrow MRICS Partner, Knight Frank LLP [...]

Philip Hughes, Freshfield Energy
Roadnight Taylor’s understanding of the grid has helped us unlock far more grid capacity than we had hoped for with a viable connection cost, and we look forward to promoting more sites with them for both anaerobic digestion and peaking plants.
Nick Brown, The Thoresby Estate
Championing us for scheme advice “Being somewhat cynical about the viability of solar energy, and having heard various horror stories about being used as a stalking horse by the solar farm developers and the cost of obtaining grid connection, I was keen to find good, impartial advice before committing the Estate to any discussions on the matter. Hugh certainly explained the whole process clearly and offers a sensible, risk free approach to this complex opportunity. His team worked hard to make our first scheme a success, at 90 acres, and we have one more in planning. I would [...]
