Onshore Wind Energy Development

Onshore wind energy, a rapidly growing utility-scale renewable technology, involves harnessing wind power through turbines on land to generate electricity. By effectively managing the entire project development and operational life cycle, onshore wind projects can minimize environmental impacts and efficiently transition into operation.

 

Solutions across the entire project development and operational lifecycle.

TRC designs onshore wind energy projects that minimize environmental impacts and avoid costly mitigation – without creating construction or operational constraints — to efficiently complete development and move projects into operation. Our relationships with industry and regulatory leaders facilitate strategic and thoughtful solutions that avoid development hurdles and reduce risk.

With deep roots in environmental permitting, renewable project development and power systems engineering, TRC is helping transform the modern energy landscape. We plan, permit and design transformational wind power projects from Maine to Texas to California, balancing stakeholder expectations and perceptions with your financial and scheduling obligations.
