Implement New Pathways for Clean Energy Development
Harnessing the benefits of onshore wind energy.
Onshore wind energy, a rapidly growing utility-scale renewable technology, involves harnessing wind power through turbines on land to generate electricity. This renewable technology comes with challenges, from navigating complex regulatory hurdles to managing land use conflicts.
By effectively managing the entire project development and operational life cycle, onshore wind projects can minimize environmental impacts and efficiently transition into operation. TRC offers planning, permitting, engineering and construction for land-based projects.
Direction-Setting Perspectives in Wind Energy Development
With deep roots in environmental permitting, renewable project development and power systems engineering, TRC is helping transform the modern energy landscape. Our relationships with industry and regulatory leaders facilitate strategic and thoughtful solutions that avoid development hurdles and reduce risk.
Solutions Across the Entire Project Development and Operational Life Cycle
TRC designs onshore wind energy projects that minimize environmental impacts and avoid costly mitigation — without creating construction or operational constraints — to efficiently complete development and move projects into operation. We plan, permit and design transformational wind power projects from Maine to Texas to California, balancing stakeholder expectations and perceptions with financial and scheduling obligations.
Our services include:
- Interconnection assessment
- Power systems studies
- Transmission line, substation, switchyard engineering and design
- Geotechnical engineering
- Civil engineering design, including access road and road improvements
- Construction support, including engineering, procurement and construction
