Renewable Energy

inacoustic is serious about the push towards Net Zero – which is why the UK’s onshore renewable energy transition has become a key part of our operations. We invest heavily into noise-source data research, conduct regular site visits, maintain a proactive technical relationship with leading global equipment providers such as Tesla, General Electric (GE) and SMA, deliver noise CPDs to industry partners and stay well-informed on relevant regulations and best practise.

This enables us to provide best-in-class levels of noise consultancy at planning, design and commissioning stages to Europe’s leading renewable energy developers and to the UK’s most well-renowned planning consultancies. Because of all this, we’re able to apply gold-standard noise prediction, modelling and measurement techniques to our clients’ sites, protecting sensitive receptor amenity whilst optimising layout, equipment selection and operating scope.

Whether we’re on the East Coast of Scotland undertaking an ETSU-R-97 assessment for an array of wind turbines, completing an environmental noise survey on the Norfolk flats for a prospective Solar PV Farm or helping to repurpose a complex brownfield location for Battery Energy Storage in compliance with BS4142:2014+A1:2019, we are committed to maintaining our status as a market-leading noise consultant for new and emerging renewable energy technologies.

We’re experts in completing standalone noise assessments for planning and working with multiple stakeholders to deliver Noise ES Chapters for Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA), and we understand the importance of meeting tight deadlines to ensure that grid connections can be made.
