Biodiversity Net Gain, protected-species requirements and habitat compensation now apply on almost every onshore wind, solar and grid project, while offshore wind carries complex multi-habitat marine survey requirements. Consenting timelines track the quality and speed of ecological data, so slow or contested surveys hold up planning and defer generation revenue. With TNFD adoption rising and CSRD raising the bar, developers need fast, credible biodiversity data to win consent and keep it.
Figures from a case study with EDF Renewables.
The applications where nature evidence changes the outcome in energy.
Passive bioacoustic sensors capture the bird, bat and mammal activity that underpins wind consenting and collision-risk assessment.
eDNA and condition indicators screen ground-mounted solar sites for habitat loss, soil health and Biodiversity Net Gain before planning.
eDNA resolves complex multi-habitat marine sensitivity requirements, cutting vessel time and shortening consenting programmes for offshore arrays.
Screen linear grid and transmission routes for protected-species hotspots and designated habitats across large portfolios.
Deliver audit-ready biodiversity data planning authorities accept, to prioritise sites for early survey and reduce pre-application delays.
The frameworks and requirements teams in energy are held to.
The parts of the platform that map to the obligations above.
Passive acoustic monitoring of birds and bats, central to wind consenting and to continuous early-warning signals.
Detects species from water and soil for solar, onshore and offshore marine sensitivity assessments.
Comparable metrics from site to landscape that flag protected species and designated habitats across a development portfolio.
Turns survey data into consenting and Biodiversity Net Gain status, flagging issues before they hit planning timelines.
Aggregates nature data across a pipeline of sites into baselines, trends and prioritised interventions.
Screens development sites and operating assets for nature risk, to focus capital and diligence where it matters.
For renewables developers, the quality and speed of ecological data sit directly on the consenting critical path. Traditional surveys are expensive, slow and hard to scale across a large portfolio, and remote or offshore sites carry access, safety and cost constraints that push out returns. NatureMetrics translates site-level ecological pressure into consenting risk and Biodiversity Net Gain status, delivering audit-ready data planning authorities accept, so developers can screen sites early, resolve survey requirements and cut months off the programme.
NATURAL POWEREvidence beyond traditional methods. eDNA and acoustic data give a tool to mitigate potential impacts from developments and to evidence positive ecological impacts in ways traditional methods could not.
