The Business
Our current focus is to enhance the value of 12 potential windfarm sites and sell the rights of 8 to finance the construction and operation of 2 or more. The stages of this process are: • Identification-Projects identified using data mining and validated using basic checks. (Complete) • Early-Stage Development (ESD)-Agreements with landowners to secure development rights. Technical studies add value prior to sale or further development. (Ongoing) • Ready to Build (RTB)-Environmental Assessments, consenting applications, and community engagement ensure the project has local backing and is financially viable. (2025-30) • Build and Operate-Construction lasts around a year. Once commissioned, sites generate income for up to 30 years or mo
The Market
The Energy Industry Is Changing. We're witnessing a seismic shift. • From fossil fuels to renewable resources. • From centralised "big energy" to decentralised mid-scale developments. • From exclusion to inclusion. • From profit-first to planet-first. We're Getting the Opportunity of a Lifetime. There's a rush to meet energy requirements in line with the United Nation’s 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. • Now is the time to focus on small- to mid-scale developments. • This opens investment and development to smaller-scale investors and developers. • Energy is being democratized, changing the world for the better.
Progress/Proof
Since our project kickoff in February, we have made considerable progress in developing 12 projects through ESD. A host of studies and communications have been documented and include, for example: Exclusivity Agreements with Landowners, third-party Energy Yield Assessments, and Grid Screening reports. Various other studies including drone surveys and logistics studies have been kicked off in early June for some of the projects. In early June we concluded three documents: MOU1(ESD), MOU2 (RTB), and a Transfer Agreement. These are underpinned by a Financial Model and Business Plan Concepts document. Based on these key documents the NZ UK team is progressing with RTB Planning, Managing the Financing, company set up and communications.
Objectives/Future
2024 will continue to be a busy year with the main activities being: - Ongoing development of the 12 NOTUS REL projects with various technical studies, landowner agreements and applications for grid connections - Planning for subsequent works including company formation, scoping, and potential contractor engagement. - Sale of 8 projects and transfer of 4 to NOTUS NZ1, 2,3 and 4 SPVs. In 2025 we plan to - Take another 12 sites through ESD. - Hire staff, consultants, and contractors to undertake the EIA and Community Engagement. From 2026 to 2031 -All of our efforts will be focused on the RTB, Build and Operate phases. In 2032 and 2033, we plan to sell at least 1 project fully consented and ready to build and to build 2 sites ourselves.
