SLR provides a wide range of technical and professional services to energy generators, would be energy generators and energy users. These services range from planning and development to energy management.

SLR’s expertise and capabilities extend across a wide range of power generation technologies including renewable sources, such as wind, hydroelectricity, biofuels and energy from waste, as well as fossil fuels and nuclear.

SLR’s services help energy generators to develop and manage their generation and distribution infrastructure. In addition, SLR can help companies manage energy and carbon at their existing and proposed facilities and identify the risks and opportunities from climate change.

Planning and Development Services

SLR has an extensive track record in the provision of planning and development services to the energy sector, which includes power generation as well as the associated transmission and distribution infrastructure. Such services include:

• Feasibility assessments, option appraisals and site selection
• Due diligence and the provision of services associated with divestiture or acquisition of energy portfolios
• The preparation of environmental impact assessments and the provision of all of the necessary planning support. SLR’s in house experts can also provide  technical services relating to assessments such as air quality, landscape and visual, ecology as well as access and transportation studies
• Operations permitting and compliance
• Contamination assessment and remediation
• Geotechnical assessments and the management of any necessary site investigations.
• Civil and structural engineering outline and detailed design
• Process engineering including considerable expertise in waste technologies and thermal processes
• Project management and construction supervision services

Energy and Carbon Management

Energy and carbon management are rapidly developing areas that cannot be ignored.  As energy supply costs continue to rise and predictions of global impacts of climate change are realised, society as a whole is under increasing pressure to act.

However the increasing pressure faced by energy managers also provides new business opportunities.  The right strategy can increase revenue, reduce costs and mitigate against future energy risks, openly demonstrating a pro-active approach to the challenge of climate change.  The benefits are twofold:  measuring and managing the carbon footprint improves both financial and environmental performance.

SLR provides a variety of services relating to energy and carbon management. Such services include:

• development of energy and carbon management strategies;
• energy efficiency and carbon audits of business operations and activities;
• energy monitoring and targeting;
• climate change adaptation strategies;
• assessment of opportunities for energy conservation, emission abatement and the management of the carbon footprint;
• feasibility assessments for on-site energy generation from renewable sources, such as wind, solar, photo-voltaics (PV) and energy crops/biomass, or energy from wastes;
• specification, tender preparation and the project management of energy schemes; and
• training and awareness.

In addition, SLR is able to provide all of the support necessary for any permitting issues relating to energy and energy generation and transmission.
