As nations pursue bold net zero targets, the race is on to build the clean energy infrastructure we need. Rapid expansion of the renewables market and fierce industry competition means project proponents are faced with the challenges of acquiring suitable land, navigating complex approval pathways, balancing environmental permitting requirements, and meeting community expectations.
From generation to storage and distribution, RPS is supporting energy transition investment and innovation across the globe.
In offshore wind, satisfying International Financial Corporation (IFC) standards and Equator Principles doesn’t end with permits. Our consultants explain.
