Vichy Solar Community Assessment & Engagement Plan

Over the last decade, the wind and solar industry has matured, formalizing a set of criteria and diagnostics that a developer will complete throughout the development process of a wind or solar project. From environmental reports to economic development analysis — view shed projections and property value estimates — smart developers use a stress-tested and proven set of criteria to develop projects at scale. There is one notable outlier in this diagnostic set, and it happens to also be one of the most unpredictable and important aspects of the development process — community sentiment.

Bantam partners with developers to produce valuable community assessment reports that cut through the noise and provide crystallized insights on risk and opportunities across project footprints, arming the development team with powerful knowledge and positioning them for success from the onset.
