Environment & Consenting

We provide bespoke, innovative and practical environment and consenting services to international renewable energy projects across the value chain.

Overview

Nowhere are rigorous environmental standards more important than in the renewable energy industry, where maintaining a project’s green credentials is essential. Unique challenges relating to pre and post consenting, regulatory compliance and environmental management require specialist professional analysis.

PMSS stands apart from mainstream environmental consultancies as we work solely within the renewables sector, allowing our focus and in-depth experience to deliver an unrivalled specialist commercial and technical focus.

Experience gained across a spectrum of projects allows us to identify risks and appropriate mitigations early in the development process. Our long-standing relationships with regulators, and proven processes in coordinating multi-stakeholder dialogue, have forged the trust and professionalism needed to avoid problems emerging and to tackle and solve those that have already arisen.

We provide bespoke, innovative and practical environment and consenting services to international renewable energy projects across the value chain.
