Case study
Regional Solar Suitability Study
A multi-criteria screening of a large coastal region to identify utility-scale solar zones with low environmental sensitivity.
CompletedCoastal region (sample)2025Sample
This is a sample case study for layout review. It does not describe a real client or project.
The challenge.
The client needed to narrow a large search area to a defensible shortlist of solar zones within a single budget cycle, while avoiding sensitive habitats and productive farmland.
Our approach.
Assembled resource, terrain, land-use, habitat and grid layers into a single spatial model
Agreed weighted criteria with the client and stakeholders in two workshops
Ran sensitivity scenarios to test how rankings changed with different weightings
Outcomes.
- Search area reduced to a small set of priority zones
- Transparent scoring accepted by the client's investment committee
- Reusable model handed over for future updates
