Project case studies
See how CEA’s collaborative approach supports project teams across offshore wind, power cables and nuclear projects.
Projects
Offshore wind
Supporting from the consenting phase through to implementation
CEA were initially appointed to provide peer review, strategic advice, and technical project management for HRA in the DCO application and examination phase of the Sheringham and Dudgeon Projects. Once the project was successfully consented, CEA were retained to oversee design and delivery of Kittiwake and Sandwich Tern compensation schemes.
Supporting the development of Gippsland Skies offshore wind project
CEA undertook a review and assessment of the draft declared areas and data used to inform them to assist the Client to understand data gaps and risks.
Nuclear
Five years of project and environmental compliance support for EDF
EDF operates the UK’s nuclear power stations, which are at various lifecycle phases, from generation through defueling to decommissioning preparation. EDF’s operations across the fleet of stations require ongoing compliance with their Radioactive Substances Regulations (RSR) Environmental Permit, Nuclear Site License (NSL), and an in-depth understanding of evolving regulatory and policy frameworks for radioactive waste management.
Identifying future risks to nuclear decommissioning: understanding the UK's landfill infrastructure challenges
The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority needed to understand how evolving waste management legislation and market dynamics could impact their ability to dispose of radioactive waste from decommissioning activities over the long term of their decommissioning mission. CEA’s strategic assessment provided the NDA with critical insights to safeguard radioactive waste disposal infrastructure across the UK’s decommissioning programme for decades to come.
Cables
Construction-Phase Marine Permit Compliance for UK-Germany Interconnector Project
NeuConnect is a new electricity interconnector being built between the UK and Germany, representing a nationally significant infrastructure development that spans multiple jurisdictions including UK, Netherlands, and German waters. Following successful consent completion, the project has transitioned into a phase of major construction requiring specialist marine permit compliance support across UK and Dutch offshore waters.
Commitment to quality
Expertise Across Energy Sectors
CEA provides expert solutions tailored to address the unique challenges of each project.
Offshore wind
From Round 4 complexities to floating wind innovation, we help developers deliver projects faster. Our expertise spans site selection through to decommissioning, with a track record of securing consent for major UK wind farms. We understand the pressure you’re under and provide specialist support to keep moving forward.
Power cables
Multi-jurisdictional power cable projects demand flawless coordination. We’ve successfully navigated UK-European power cable projects through complex regulatory frameworks, managing everything from marine consents to stakeholder negotiations. Our expertise helps you connect markets while managing risk.
Nuclear
In nuclear, precision is everything. Our team of experts brings regulatory knowledge and practical experience across the nuclear lifecycle, from new build to decommissioning. We provide strategic and technical advisory support across permitting, licensing, assurance, and radioactive waste management
