Wind Energy Development in Ireland: responsible for managing consultants and coordinating feasibility,

environmental impact assessment and engineering studies, representing Finavera in Europe’s Wind Energy

Community.

• Brought in after environmental permitting application was rejected, to determine if the project

should be abandoned: the company faced $2.5M in sunk cost. Re-­‐engaged Galway County officials

and government scientists evaluated and addressed their concerns and submitted a fully redesigned

EA application. Environmental Approval (EA) was secured in minimal time, without objections or

Federal (optional) review.

point for the project, identified an alternative interconnection that would save $14M. Secured

cooperative contract for the right of way with adjoining wind project. Identified 3 additional wind

syndicate and leveraged this combined influence to secure a rules exception from Irish energy

regulators (CER and Eirgrid) for an interconnection solution with lower environmental impact and

lower overall cost.

project. Finavera sold the project for $13.5M with no additional project work or investment.
