wind & solar renewable energy projects
We are a team of renewable energy experts with a focus on developing premium wind,solar and energy storage projects across Australia.
who we are
Lacour Energy are a team of highly credentialed energy professionals with proven experience in developing, financing, constructing and operating a number of utility scale wind and solar projects across Australia and Europe.
We are focused on selecting the best sites for wind, solar and energy storage development and working with the local communities to ensure these projects deliver long term sustainable benefits.
The leadership team have built up our expertise with over 60 years combined experience and we plan to continue to develop successful wind, solar and energy storage renewable energy projects in Australia. We have a pipeline of high potential wind and solar projects under development across Australia and we are always searching for new opportunities.
our process
Decades of successful project development have taught us that there are a number of key steps in the development of a wind or solar farm. We are diligent about following a proven program of work as we want to ensure that when we announce a project, it has a good chance of being successful.
The following steps need to be completed to develop a successful project:
-
We use our experience to select specific regions to do a detailed search for high potential project sites.
-
We look at wind and solar resources, electricity network capacity, environmental protected areas, and the current land use to assist in determining these potential sites.
-
Once a possible site is identified, Lacour meets the landowners to see if they would be happy to host a project.
-
Once landowner leases are agreed, we conduct a feasibility study to assess the benefits and impact of any project. Typically, a project would be announced near the beginning of this process.
-
Once the project development is complete its time to build, which typically takes between 12 and 24 months, depending on the project size.
-
A project will be operational for around 30 years without needing to have any major refurbishments, after which the project is decommissioned or repowered with new equipment
