The ecological specialist study for Riverside Solar is complete. No critically endangered species were recorded on site during the field survey. The ecologist did note the presence of an Endangered grassland patch in the north-eastern corner — we’ve adjusted the project layout to avoid this area entirely. This is very good news for your timeline and approval prospects.
