| Road map to the design process for extension |
|---|
| High level review of the country to identify potential areas suitable for wind energy assessment | A Project Study Area was identified |
|---|---|
| Environmental & other constraints were identified |
| Site specific surveys are carried out on a preliminary layout to ground truth the information available | Site specific surveys and studies were undertaken |
|---|---|
| A design layout emerged of this project | |
| The initial design layout of this project consisted of 8 Turbines |
| Consultation commenced with the public, local authorities and interested parties based on the design layout | The design layout was presented to the public, local authorities and other interested parties and feedback was received on various aspects of the project |
