National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has released their predictions for the 2022 Atlantic hurricane season and based on their forecasts the season looks set to be the seventh consecutive year of above-normal hurricane activity, driven by several climate factors including warmer than average surface temperatures.
Geospatial Insight have been selected by Winchester City Council to assess the solar potential of over 600 square kilometres of its non-urban land, in support of the Authority’s ambitions to become carbon neutral by 2024, and their goal for the entire district to become carbon neutral by 2030. The analysis will also include Strategic Housing and Economic Land Availability Assessment (SHELAA) sites, to enable better decision making about the most beneficial future use of SHELAA locations.
Millions of families in the UK risk being forced into fuel poverty after the energy price cap was increased in April leading to bills going up by £693 for 18 million households on standard tariffs. With further increases of up to £800 expected in October, when the energy price cap is next reviewed, it doesn’t appear there will be a reprieve any time soon. But what is specifically behind the energy crisis in the UK? What have other countries done to avoid similarly disastrous situations? What can the country do to mitigate the impact and help millions of citizens and businesses? And importantly, how can we reduce our reliance on fossil fuels in favour of clean energy sources, such as solar power?
Geospatial Insight have been selected by a consortium of Public Sector bodies, including Isle of Wight Council, South West Net Zero Hub, and the West of England Combined Authority, to undertake a detailed analysis of the Isle of Wight’s key urban conurbations and council owned car parks to support the development of a public EV infrastructure deployment strategy for the south coast island.
Geospatial Insight (GSI) are working with Charge Point Operator Be.EV to help deliver fair and equitable EV charging infrastructure solutions across Greater Manchester. GSI are providing innovative, location based, intelligence around driveway availability, footway widths, and potential catchment areas for off-street charging hubs, allowing Be.EV to rapidly identify and prioritise deployment sites across the region.
The safety issues surrounding tailings dams has been a hot topic over the past few years, with numerous failings causing catastrophic property and environmental damages. To minimise the occurrence of disastrous collapses in the future, there is a pressing need to understand the stability of these infrastructures and implement more efficient monitoring solutions.
Energeo – now part of Geospatial Insight Limited – are delivering a portfolio of renewable energy intelligence to support a number of community projects in the East Hampshire District. The deliverables include a rooftop Solar PV suitability database for over 25,000 buildings in the district, as well as an assessment of over 500 square kilometres of land for ground mount solar potential. These datasets will enable community groups in the district to rapidly identify the most beneficial locations to deploy Solar PV, and determine opportunities to aggregate projects across the region.
