The stages of renewable energy development

To enable a solar or wind farm to produce renewable energy for 20 to 35 years, numerous steps are necessary. These include identifying a suitable location for installation, ensuring compliance with all regulatory constraints, and securing a connection to the national grid.

The development and construction of a renewable energy farm can take several years, typically between 5 and 7 years for a solar farm and 7 to 10 years for an onshore wind farm. With a strict regulatory framework, numerous rigorous and well-supported surveys submitted to state authorities, and the management of multiple stakeholders, a project must go through several stages.

Thanks to its extensive portfolio of activities, BayWa r.e. is involved throughout the entire lifecycle of a project.
