Bio Diversity Net Gain for BESS
Through our rapidly growing pipeline, we are helping to develop the energy infrastructure required to achieve a more sustainable future for everyone and we are committed to integrating bio diversity net gain (BNG) into each of our projects.
By carefully preserving, managing and enhancing the habitats we develop, we aim to achieve measurable improvements in biodiversity. Our BNG initiatives include:
Improving ecological value
At Root-Power, our vision is to create a platform with unparalleled capabilities with the expertise to originate, develop, construct and operate energy infrastructure utilising our in house team and proven processes.
When it comes to our developments, we are dedicated to supporting the surrounding areas and local communities in which we operate. Our community engagement strategy includes:
-
Informing and involving residents
We keep local community members up-to-date throughout the planning and development stages of each project.
-
Transparent two-way communication
By listening to local input, we can adapt our Planning to better suit community needs and mitigate opposition.
-
Maximising positive impact
By addressing any issues quickly, as well as highlighting the benefits of BESS, we build trust and help to stimulate the local economy.
At Root-Power we are proactive in the communities in which we develop through public meetings, informational campaigns and opportunities for local feedback.
