At Greenleaf, our development process is driven by experience, expertise, and innovation. Our highly skilled and dedicated team methodically navigates every stage of project development, from initial site identification to financial close. Our approach centres on three key pillars: Originate, optimise, and deliver.
Originate
Project origination marks the beginning of the journey to sustainable energy solutions. This phase involves a comprehensive assessment of technical, environmental, and land-related factors and community analysis to determine project viability. Through preliminary financial modelling and early engagement with landholders, we gain valuable insights into each project’s feasibility and potential.
Optimise
Greenleaf Renewables is committed to optimising every aspect of project development to aim for maximum efficiency and effectiveness. Our unique approach to landholder and community engagement builds trust and collaboration from the outset. We work closely with stakeholders to address concerns, refine project design, and align objectives, laying the groundwork for successful outcomes.
Deliver
Following rigorous assessment by regulatory authorities and on the basis of receiving approval for our projects, our focus shifts to the final stages of development and delivery. This involves securing a grid connection agreement, negotiating contracts with delivery partners, and finalising all financial components. By adhering to rigorous technical standards and commercial practices, we strive for projects that are delivered on time, on budget, and to the highest standards of quality.
