UK renewables developer Anesco has launched a specialist consultancy arm to support investors and commercial customers to develop and optimise clean power strategies and asset performance.
Anesco Consulting will provide a range of services, from site identification, technical feasibility studies, licenses and connections, through to securing power purchase agreements and handling long-term asset management.
The service is being led by Anesco’s senior team and will be headed by Sarah Hitchcox (pictured), who leads Anesco’s technical team.
She is joined by Mike Ryan, formerly of National Grid and now Anesco asset management director, Lily Coles commercial operations director and operations director Daniel Cohen.
Anesco executive chairman Steve Shine said: “All renewables projects involve navigating a minefield of complex rules, regulations and policy. From feasibility to design, development and construction, it is a complicated process.
“Added to that is the confidence and certainty that investors and lenders require to support such projects, and that remains a key challenge for the industry.
“We know that if the UK is to meet its zero emissions target, then we need to be doing more to facilitate positive action on a large scale.
“Which is why we’ve introduced Anesco Consulting – to offer advice on a whole life basis and that is rooted in data from existing assets, not just theory.”
