It takes years to develop and build a wind farm and due to changing regulatory requirements complications can arise. Furthermore, the wind industry is international, with services, materials and personnel constantly crossing international boundaries, in an often asymmetrical regulatory environment.

Through professional management of the regulatory interfaces, risks and costs for the project can be reduced substantially.

At CARNEADES we can help you to follow all the relevant regulations and guidelines associated with such a large project. Our experts have different professional backgrounds with one common denominator – experience. We can help you avoid complications caused by poorly managed records that do not meet industry standards or inadequate data presentation by developing and implementing efficient and economical processes and communication channels. We advise on legal and technical restrictions and requirements, and collect, sort and evaluate scientific data. In addition, we can provide strategic advice and assist in the submission of legally required documents to regulatory authorities, as well as conduct the subsequent negotiations and communication.
