Challenge
Ecotricity’s first Development Consent Order (DCO) scale solar project required expert communications to navigate the complex planning process and build stakeholder support in a rural Lincolnshire setting.
Approach​
Copper provided strategic communications, engagement and consultation support, helping shape the narrative and guide the project through public consultation and Planning Inspectorate examination.
Value delivered
- Successfully supported the scheme through DCO examination and consent in early 2024
- Helped Ecotricity build credibility in the Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects (NSIP) renewables space with a well-received first project
- Strengthened stakeholder understanding and community engagement throughout the process.
