Run renewable consultation that holds up at examination
A 2.5GW offshore wind farm or a 500MW solar scheme can draw thousands of responses across a multi-year DCO programme. Tractivity captures the full engagement record, runs the consultation, and produces the proof the Planning Inspectorate, Ofgem and your board expect.
What is public consultation software for renewable energy?
Public consultation software for renewable energy enables developers to run both statutory and non-statutory consultation, capture community and stakeholder feedback, and evidence the full programme for examination. For Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects, this means meeting the consultation duties set out in the Planning Act 2008 and the Gunning Principles, with a record that holds up at a DCO examination.
Tractivity delivers this end-to-end, with a branded public portal for the community, the survey and communications tools to consult them, and a single audit-ready record behind it all.
A public engagement portal
A branded portal where residents and interested parties can self-register, respond to surveys, and opt in to updates, with every action captured in the stakeholder record and supported by full GDPR consent tracking. (Engage-360 is priced separately.)
Consultation & surveys built in
Consultation and surveys are built in, so you can build and publish questionnaires, collect responses from dozens to tens of thousands, and view results aggregated in the platform, with no bolt-on tools or manual data transfer.
AI sentiment analysis
Every interaction is tagged as positive, negative, or neutral using AI sentiment analysis, giving the team a live view of how community sentiment is shifting, not just a simple count of responses.
Issue management end to end
Issue management end to end, with every stakeholder issue logged, categorised, assigned, and tracked. On Hinkley Point C and Sizewell C, EDF has logged around 30,000 issues and comments, achieving a 100% response rate.
150+ reports for examination
Tabular, matrix, graph, demographic, and mapping views, plus 150+ reports, all configurable to your reporting needs. Reports that once took days can be produced in minutes, ready to export for the Planning Inspectorate on demand.
One record across teams
The same stakeholder graph is shared across project teams and consultants. At SSEN, this scaled from 15 users in 2018 to over 200 across the network, all working in a single shared view.
