Balancing Renewable Energy Development with People and Place
  • Wednesday, 18 Nov14:30 - 15:30 GMT
    Finsbury 2 | 155 Bishopsgate
Delivering renewable energy at scale requires balancing generation potential with environmental stewardship, land use, community priorities, and regulation. Trydan Gwyrdd Cymru will show how spatial analysis supports wind farm development across Wales while engaging communities through its Wind Farm Challenge. OWC will demonstrate how GIS and automated workflows improve peat landslide risk assessments for UK onshore wind farms, protecting natural resources, increasing consistency, and reducing project risk.

Presentations

  • Designing a Wind Farm That Benefits All of Wales

    Trydan Gwyrdd Cymru are a renewable energy developer wholly-owned by the Welsh Government. with their initial focus on developing utility-scale wind farms on the publicly-owned Woodland Estate. Trydan has recently developed the ‘Wind Farm Challenge’, an educational platform built using Esri ArcGIS StoryMaps and ArcGIS Experience Builder. To be delivered in secondary schools and other educational settings across Wales, the platform empowers students to design and build an onshore wind farm generating homegrown, secure, renewable energy, with environmental, economic and local community benefits.

  • Spatially Informed Peat Landslide Hazard Assessments for UK Onshore Wind Farms
    A Peat Landslide Hazard and Risk Assessment (PLHRA) is a key regulatory requirement for many UK windfarm sites, especially those planned for development in sensitive upland peatland areas. This session will examine the role of GIS in supporting the delivery of PLHRAs, through effective management and analysis of geoscientific datasets, creation of landslide stability models and the evaluation of consequence and risk. The session will also examine the role of customised ESRI toolboxes to automate PLHRA workflows, improve data consistency and reduce project risks
