Planning Frameworks and Dual Use Solar

Planning frameworks can enable or constrain dual use projects and must be reviewed for each location.

Planning frameworks can enable or constrain dual use projects and must be reviewed for each location.

Key considerations

  • Specific to each jurisdiction planning review
  • Land and infrastructure status
  • No reliance on generic assumptions

Infrastructure focused assessment

The starting point is the operational asset: its purpose, route, interfaces, access requirements and lifecycle obligations. Photovoltaic generation is then evaluated within those constraints.

Feasibility and delivery

No commercial structure should be assumed before technical, planning, grid and economic feasibility is established. Where conditions support development, responsibilities and consideration are documented through detailed agreements.

Next step

A useful first discussion includes route length, asset status, location, grid context and the organisation's operational requirements.

Initial assessment

Discuss a potential project

Share the route, infrastructure context and connection information available. We will assess whether a structured feasibility process is appropriate.
