Enhar has extensive experience in managing solar and BESS projects all the way from conception to commissioning and works closely with our clients’  legal, finance, engineering and commercial teams to move a project to Financial Close fast.

Our portfolio development retainer services include project management, maintaining joined up thinking and heading off project risks early to ensure optimum long term outcomes.

Our team can take responsibility for managing all aspects of solar and BESS developments, including:

  • Securing Land Options and Rights.
  • Managing Grid Connection Processes.
  • Securing Development Approvals.
  • Coordinating Building Permits.
  • Identifying PPA Providers.
  • Preparing and managing EPC tender processes and evaluating responses.
  • Quality review of commissioning and testing

Land Aquisition

Secure optimum land where grid and development approval prospects are strong

Land Aquisition

Need to secure land before spending big bucks on grid enquiries?

Competition for grid capacity and land is fierce.

Enhar targets strategic grid capacity locations where suitable land is available to secure the right land in the right locations. Such places include lower value grazing country adjacent to substations, with unrestrictive planning zoning.

Our team researches landowners before meeting face to face so we can get straight down to business.

Through experienced landowner negotiation, Enhar secures Lease Option agreements which are commercially and legally sound.
