Barriers & Bottlenecks: Getting Projects Across the Line

Synopsis

Due to various safety issues with BESS assets, concerns around the environmental impact, fires, and more, milestones such as obtaining planning consent, environmental permitting regimes and supply chain concerns are becoming more prominent.

This panel will discuss potential new regulations and barriers to deployment for projects under development and even in construction.

• How are developers factoring in higher costs associated with environmental permitting and more complexity in the planning phase?
• How can developers remain compliant with projects at different stages of the construction cycle?
• What are the implications of retroactively implementing new regulations on existing projects?
• Are there enough consultants and engineers to deliver projects safely and on time?
