The World’s Renewable Energy Growth Rate Increases by 45%
Background Despite the difficulties caused by the Covid-19 pandemic for businesses across the globe, the renewable energy industry significantly grew within the last year, at its fastest pace since 1999. The International Energy Agency (IEA), an intergovernmental forecaster, reported that the sudden growth in the industry is to be predicted…
Award Winning High-Altitude Floating Solar Farm
Floating Solar Farms Floating solar farms are an innovative way of making use of potential solar PV capacity where land use may be restricted despite potential higher installation costs. Floating solar PV technology has been around for many years now with the UK’s first floating solar farm installed in 2014. Floating…
What Happened to Zero Carbon Homes?
In 2006 the Labour government announced the ‘Code for Sustainable Homes’. This committed that from 2016 all new houses would be ‘zero carbon’ and would generate as much energy on-site, as they would use in heating, hot water and lighting . Subsequently in 2008 the Climate Change Act was introduced…
Wind Farm Development Checklist
Background Wind farm developments can be delayed or blocked due to radar, telecommunications and other aviation issues. Resolving these issues can be time consuming and expensive. These risks are best managed by identifying potential issues early in the development process. This checklist helps identify the key issues. Scope This checklist…
Important Changes to the USA’s FAA Glint and Glare Guidance
Overview The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) recently announced a final policy to replace their interim glint and glare guidance. The update states the FAA’s final stance on how solar photovoltaic (PV) developments should be managed from a glint and glare perspective and what federally obligated airports need to be…
Pager Power in 50 Countries
Another Milestone! Here at Pager Power we are proud to have been a part of many firsts. This has included identification of the site for radar in-fill at the (then) largest wind development in Europe, providing glint and glare analysis for the first consented large ground-based solar scheme in Ireland…
Why Green Hydrogen Could be Key for Future Renewables
Background Climate change has pushed clean energy up the global agenda. As we switch over to new, cleaner technologies and fuels, our experience of using power, heat and transport is going to change, transforming the way we live, work and travel. Estimates by the International Energy Agency (IEA), predict that…
Airport Development Checklist
Background Developments such as terminals, hangars, hotels and car parks can adversely affect airport operations. Airport operations can also adversely affect developments. The main issues to look out for are listed below. Scope This checklist applies to on-airport and off-airport developments close to the airport. Figure 1: Infographic indicating Pager…
