Navigate Decarbonisation & Transition to Renewable Energy
The Australian energy landscape is rapidly changing as we decarbonise and transition to a greater mix of renewable generation. Geosyntec is uniquely positioned to assist clients to navigate this transition by helping to close, clean up, and remediate old fossil-fuel-related assets, repurpose infrastructure, or get new projects approved and operational as the energy transition gains momentum.
Electricity Transmission Lines
Delivering major transmission line projects across multiple jurisdictions—often involving hundreds of landholders and varied environmental contexts—requires a strategic, informed, and integrated approach to risk management. Geosyntec offers strong expertise in route selection, stakeholder engagement, land access, environmental planning and approvals, and environmental management for transmission infrastructure.
Generation & Storage Projects
From early-stage feasibility, due diligence, and site selection to planning approvals, stakeholder engagement, risk and reputation management, and development, we supported renewable energy projects across Australia. Our team has advised on solar, wind, wave, pumped hydro, and battery energy storage system (BESS) developments.
