Our services
Renewable energy projects don't manage themselves. Neither do the permits.
Power Track
Renewable energy projects involve long timelines, multiple stakeholders, regulatory complexity, and technical coordination. A missed permit deadline delays construction by months. A grid connection issue discovered late can kill a project's economics. A dedicated project manager from Bleen manages these interdependencies so your development team can focus on the next project in the pipeline.
Key Takeaways
- Development coordination: site assessment, environmental impact studies, permitting, grid connection applications
- Construction oversight: contractor management, timeline tracking, quality control, commissioning
- PPA project management: contract negotiation support, implementation timeline, metering and settlement setup
- Stakeholder management: municipal authorities, grid operators, local communities, investors, contractors
- Portfolio-level program management for companies running multiple energy transition projects in parallel

What your renewable energy PM handles
Development phase coordination. Site selection support, environmental impact study management, permitting applications, grid connection requests. The PM tracks every administrative step and its dependencies so nothing falls through the cracks.
Construction oversight. Contractor selection support, construction timeline management, milestone verification, quality control, and commissioning coordination. The PM is on-site at critical moments and available remotely between visits.
PPA implementation. Corporate PPA projects involve legal negotiation, metering setup, balancing group arrangements, green certificate management, and ongoing settlement processes. The PM coordinates every workstream from term sheet to first invoice.
Stakeholder coordination. Municipal authorities, grid operators (Elia, Fluvius, ORES), environmental agencies, local communities, investors, construction contractors, equipment suppliers. The PM is the single coordination point for all parties.
Portfolio management. Companies running multiple renewable energy projects need consolidated tracking: milestone status, risk registers, budget tracking, and resource allocation across the portfolio. The PM provides that consolidated view.
Why a dedicated PM for renewable energy
Permitting timelines are long and unforgiving. A missing document delays a permit by weeks or months. A PM who tracks every requirement across every authority prevents these delays.
Grid connection is a bottleneck. In Belgium, grid connection capacity is limited and the application process is technical. A PM who has been through it with multiple projects knows the process, the contacts, and the pitfalls.
Construction coordination requires presence. Contractors need supervision, milestones need verification, and problems need immediate resolution. A PM who is present at the right moments prevents cost overruns and delays.
Your development team should develop. Finding the next site, negotiating the next PPA, structuring the next investment: that's where your senior people add the most value. The PM handles the execution of projects already in motion.
How the engagement works
Project-based engagement. The PM joins at the development stage and stays through commissioning. Typical timeline: 12 to 36 months depending on project complexity and permitting.
Portfolio engagement. For companies managing multiple projects, the PM provides ongoing coordination across the portfolio, with intensity scaling to each project's phase.
Typical format: 3 to 5 days per week during active construction. 1 to 2 days per week during permitting and development phases. On-site presence during critical milestones.
Coordination with Bleen experts. If your projects involve environmental impact assessments, carbon calculations, or sustainability reporting, the PM coordinates with Bleen specialist profiles as needed.
