Feasibility StudiesFeasibility Studies
• Wind Resource Assessment– Secure land rights!– Important to measure as close to hub height as
possible– Potentially do-it-yourself, however, implications
• Environmental Assessment– Provincial and Federal EA triggers– Contract consultants – Public consultation extremely important

Project and Communications PlansProject and Communications Plans
• Business Plan: Core document– Determine audience (funders, public, internal)– Be concise in communication– Cover all relevant steps (structure, resources,
projections etc.)• Communication Plan
– Overarching communication strategy which ties in with public consultation for EA
– Community can be best friend or biggest obstacle

Project PlanProject Plan
• Essential in the development of a successful project
• Wind projects are extremely complex– Highly technical– Market is still in infancy– Expensive
• Numerous overlapping tasks • Utilize project planning software
(ex. MS Project, Gantt chart in Excel)
