Renewables
We operate at the forefront of renewable energy developments, providing leading land and infrastructure services to help power the communities and industries of tomorrow.
Thanks to innovations in technology and infrastructure it is now possible to imagine a world where a vast majority of electricity is powered by sustainable, climate-friendly energy resources.
The UK’s net-zero pledge has powered advancements in renewable energy projects, helping to lower our environmental impact, improve our health and well-being, reduce fuel poverty, and create thousands of green energy jobs.
Our team is proud to be at the forefront of renewable energy developments having provided leading industry advice and services to over 50 nationally significant renewable projects across the UK and Ireland, including offshore and onshore wind farms, solar parks, hydrogen, energy from waste, tidal energy, and nuclear power stations.

Adam Kendall
Land Transaction Manager
Having worked with Viki James before in major project consent delivery I knew her skill set would be invaluable in Laing O’Rourke’s ECI role in Sizewell C’s DCO application. Leading as the interface between the Clients planning team and the civil works engineering and construction programme she is ably preparing the team for examination, managing the technical dialogue and decision making, identifying risks and opportunities for delivery and influencing the DCO to preserve cost & programme. She is also a great team player with top communication skills. Her insight of both sides of a major application is not a common skill set and one I value. I would happily recommend Viki and Ardent.
