Wind Power
|
 |
Novera is a specialist developer of onshore wind farms. We are on track to deliver our target of having 250 MW of installed capacity from wind power by 2011. We have one wind farm in operation, Mynydd Clogau in mid-Wales, one in construction, Lissett Airfield and five in planning.
WIND DEVELOPMENT TEAM
|
 |
Novera has an experienced, multi-discipline wind team with expertise in engineering, environmental management, energy, planning, power purchase, finance and construction. Members of the wind team have successfully completed more than 400 MW of wind capacity. Most recently the wind team obtained planning permission for the Lissett Airfield Wind Farm in seven months, a significantly shorter timescale than typically achieved in the UK.
CONSULTATION
As a responsible developer we recognise the importance of wide and open consultation throughout the planning process through newsletters, presentations, one-to-one meetings and public exhibitions. Comments from local residents are addressed in our final designs before we submit formal planning applications. We consult after a planning application has been submitted and, if consent is granted, continue to liaise throughout the construction and operation of the wind farm.
COMMUNITY FUND
The Community Funding Scheme that Novera runs at Mynydd Clogau has led to improvements to local roads and the establishment of two Trust Funds to ensure that some of the revenue generated by the wind farm directly benefits the local Community.
COMMUNITY LIAISON
A Community Liaison Forum has been established for Lissett Airfield which allows Novera to update the Council. Parish Councils and local tourism industry. Updates are provided each month on the construction and operation of the wind farm.
We have committed to establish a Community Trust Fund so that some of the revenue generated by our wind farm at Lissett Airfield can be used for local causes. This has been welcomed by the community local to Lissett Airfield.
If you would like to contact the Lissett project team with questions, concerns or suggestions for suitable projects for the Community Trust, please email LissettAirfield@noveraenergy.com.
