Securing funding can be problematic, given the high up-front costs and long payback periods. Projects are often technically challenging, requiring expertise in electricity transmission and integrating new technologies alongside existing systems to ensure reliability and resilience. Any new renewable installation is likely to require consultation with local communities, regulators and investors, as well as an assessment of social and environmental impacts. SYSTRA has the renewable energy engineering and consultancy expertise to help clients plan, finance and deliver new renewable energy facilities – and achieve their sustainability and carbon-reduction objectives.
