Making friends with the lions

woman riding a lionEnergy companies are receiving more and more objections to facilities. How do you make friends with the lions?

If you didn't have AppIntel, how else would you discover how other operators are overcoming objections to their applications? With AppIntel, you can simply type   objection   into the KiP search box.

One operator's recent waste management application attracted 16 objecting parties. That may be a record number of unhappy and vocal people. Yet the operator still received approval from the regulator without a hearing. How did they do it?

You can see the operator's efforts and the regulator's treatment of the all the objections. See for yourself by getting the application documents from our self serve website.

We stay on top of best practices from actual objection submissions and their applications.

An objection is not a rejection

Objections to an application are not the kiss of death to a project. The regulator determines whether the objections are valid enough to be heard in a public hearing.

The AER treats all objectors with respect. But not all objections prevent a licence from being issued, nor do all objections require a public hearing.

How do other operators handle objections?

Sure, you know technical information about other operators' facilities. But how do they handle objections at the application stage?

Reviewing this application will give you some of your own ideas about handling your own objections. Why reinvent the wheel?

It may also give you ideas about how to avoid some objections in the first place.

The only way to find this information is to read regulatory applications. The fastest and easiest way to get the relevant applications is through AppIntel.
