Mapping
Development of a Regional
Strategic Vision involves a
high level assessment of
the region leading to the
development of a number
of Opportunity Areas which
can then be taken forward
to Stage B

Scenarios
The purpose of Energy
Masterplanning is to define
the scope of the project
within the opportunity area
outlined in Stage A. This
involves the development
of hourly energy models
and a technology options

Feasibility Stage takes the
project opportunity as
defined in Stage B and
tests the high level
