The world has seen significant growth in solar, wind, and battery energy installations. As these projects mature, it becomes crucial to address their environmental impacts and ensure that lands used for renewable energy facilities can be reclaimed to their natural or economically productive states.
SUNSET has developed a comprehensive renewable energy reclamation report which is a useful tool for all stakeholders including developers, land owners, municipalities, utilities, etc… This report examines current best practices in reclamation and outlines the processes to be applied to the sustainable management of any unique solar, wind, battery energy storage system, or hybrid combination of the three, in any jurisdiction globally.
Objectives
- Provide a clear summary of the processes to be applied to sustainably manage any early-loss, end-of-life, and end-of-financed-life materials.
- Determine the calculated costs associated with the reclamation of any project to return the land to its original condition prior to development.
- Identify any assumptions or risks associated with the proposed reclamation plan.
- Provide recommendations to improve the reclamation outcomes and ensure long-term land sustainability.
- SUNSET Reclamation Report serves as a third party evaluation for projects anywhere in the world
Effective reclamation is essential for minimizing the environmental footprint of renewable energy projects. By adopting standardized practices, ensuring financial readiness, and engaging stakeholders, you can lead the way in sustainable development while preserving natural landscapes and recycling the otherwise waste materials in order to capture and reuse critical natural resources for a circular economy.
SUNSET can help you identify, quantify, and communicate these items through our reclamation evaluation report services.
