In line with the global best practices, the paper provides clear guidance in producing an Environmental Impact Assessment Report (EIAR) for Renewable Energy Projects.
The utilisation of the EIA tool for renewable energy projects can be a complex process as it demands the coordination of inputs of all project stakeholders. Even though each renewable energy project has its own peculiar challenges. Hence, the EIA tool has to respond to queries from the regulatory agencies and the public. The EIA tool has to be designed for a particular project site and to conform to global best practices.
This paper aims to explain the fundamental requirements for conducting an EIA at a proposed Renewable Energy Project site and further illustrates the application of global best practices by citing pertinent case studies across the world, which are evidenced in the literature.
As the paper provides a comprehensive understanding of the EIA Report (EIAR) requirements for Renewable Energy Development Licensing Permit, it further highlights the various stakeholders in renewable energy generation and identifies their roles in the project cycle. It further stresses the significance of consultation in the production of a successful Environmental Impact Assessment Report (EIAR).
