Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) Assessment
Confirm compliance with EMF safety standards and equipment compatibility. Independent assessments provide clarity for stakeholders and trusted evidence for planning submissions.
Why Electromagnetic Fields Assessment Matters
Developments such as solar farms, battery energy storage systems (BESS), wind turbines, substations, and telecoms infrastructure generate electromagnetic fields (EMFs). These are typically well within international safety limits, but concerns about human health and technical interference are often raised during planning.
Without clear evidence, consultees may question whether a project could interfere with aviation navigation systems, nearby telecommunications, or household electronics. An assessment of EMF provides the reassurance that your development is safe, compliant, and compatible with surrounding land uses.

Pager Power has helped us obtain planning permission across the UK
We first appointed Pager Power in 2004 to assess a number of wind farms in North East England resulting in objections being withdrawn by Newcastle Airport. The company has successfully helped us resolve NATS, Royal Airforce, telecommunications and minor airfield issues. Pager Power provides advice and technical analysis, are easy to talk to and deliver reports on time. Pager Power has helped us obtain planning permission across the UK including a range of onshore wind farms in North East England and Central Scotland.
