ECOLOGY SERVICES

The choice of Ecology Services is highly dependent on the needs of a particular site both onshore and offshore. Natural Power have extensive experience determining a Client’s specific needs and designing a portfolio of services tailored to the site or zone in question. This custom approach assures that the necessary assessment is made in detail with experience, knowledge and a pragmatic approach.

Our ecologists work closely with in-house wind analysts, construction engineers and development project managers to ensure that ecological constraints are mitigated or built into project design from the earliest stage to reduce any impact on the environment through construction or operation. Natural Power mitigation measures and strategies have been instrumental in developing sites with positive conservation gain in mind for both developers and regulators alike.

An Ecological Impact Assessment (EcIA) forms a significant part of an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) which is obligatory for most renewable projects. For small-scale developments not requiring a formal EIA, a more targeted approach to EcIA is usually required. We can handle whichever assessment is most appropriate for your proposed project.

We provide complete end-to-end ecology services including:

• Site design due to ecological constraints
• Baseline, construction and post-construction Habitat & Wildlife Surveys
• Ecological Mitigation
• Ecology Management of survey schedules, specialist sub-contractors and large-scale projects
• Habitat Management Plans
