Preliminary assessments

The preliminary assessment aims to capture the sentiment of landowners, local communities, and authorities to ensure the feasibility of a renewable energy project.

Contact

A sentiment that guides the way

The preliminary assessment is a crucial step in evaluating the readiness and interest of stakeholders, such as landowners, communities, and authorities, for the implementation of a renewable energy project. During this phase, real potentials are identified early on, and stakeholders are informed about the project's framework conditions. For landowners and communities, the preliminary assessment provides clarity and transparency about the next steps and the future of the project.

Quick to clarify: Preliminary assessments in 4 weeks

A positive preliminary assessment forms the basis for further planning and the successful implementation of the project.

1. Initial contact

Contacting local communities, authorities, and landowners

Based on data provided by the cadastre office, EEF broadly engages in communication. On one hand, we contact the local community and authorities to discuss the planning and legal framework of the project. On the other hand, we inquire about the availability of the land to be planned with the landowners.

2. Information materials

Provision of information materials

We provide local communities and authorities with comprehensive documents regarding our planning projects and inform them in detail about EEF, including our methods of operation. Simultaneously, the Landowner(s) receive a sample usage contract related to the planned project.

3. Conclusion

Conclusion and evaluation of the preliminary assessment

After about four weeks, we form a final picture of the project situation, summarize the discussions with the local communities and authorities, and decide on the next steps based on this atmosphere.

4. Result transmission

Dissemination of project results to landowners and local communities

Finally, the results of the feasibility study are conveyed to the landowner or the community. This feedback includes a detailed analysis and assessment, covering all identified potentials and constraints. The landowner or community receives a clear, understandable overview that serves as a basis for further project planning. EEF ensures that all open questions are addressed and the next steps are discussed together.
