Below is a list of procedures that may be required in the investment–construction process of your RES installation. Review the information about them, keeping in mind that they are most often presented in a general manner, without referring exclusively to renewable energy investments (you will find those details in the Handbook of RES Investment Procedures). The procedures indicated here are also not organized according to a specific RES technology, but have been divided into thematic sections.
