Our services include: Site finding Site screening Feasibility Studies Planning risk analysis IEMA accredited EIA production Public consultation Submissions to Local Planning Authorities and the Infrastructure Planning Commission Appeals and Public Inquiries including expert witness services Triton SODAR rentals Offshore instrumentation installations Met mast installations up to 90m Data analysis and yield prediction Some of our milestones Develop wind data logging equipment. 50W wind turbines and battery chargers developed for nomadic tribes in Mongolia. Install the first 10 metre wind monitoring masts. Manage the public inquiry and build of the original Cemmaes wind farm, the second ever in the UK. Carno wind farm EIA, then the largest wind farm in Europe Provide consultancy services to PPS22 new Planning Guidance for Renewable Energy in England, issued by the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister. EIA and application for Carno 2 received approval Planning and ES completed for the re-powering of Delabole Wind Farm, Cornwall. Dulas partner with SecondWind to provide Triton rentals in the UK and Europe. Accredited as providers of "bankable" wind data.

4 Site Finding, Feasibility and Assessment Minimise your development risk. Our expert team pioneered the use of GIS mapping for early stage site identification and constraints evaluation. This approach reduces development risk and increases the chance of success. Our comprehensive early stage services using constraints mapping and capacity studies will confirm sites with real development potential, highlighting 'showstoppers' and critical development challenges. These services are relied upon by commercial and community developers to develop their portfolio of potential wind farm sites. Awel Aman Tawe Community Energy Group The constraints mapping process draws upon our extensive GIS database in order to advise on the viability of a potential site. Factors assessed include: Transport access Military, aviation and telecommunications safeguarding Planning policy and stakeholder identification Landscape and ecological designations Noise and amenity assessments Grid connection We have had consistent support from Dulas over many years and have always been happy with the level of service and commitment. We're delighted that they have received Co-op bank approval. Daniel McCallum, Awel Aman Tawe.

Triton is the most widely used remote sensing system, used for: Prospecting Noise monitoring Shear verification Micro-siting Short-term forecasting We also provide management services for client-owned remote sensing systems, including deployment, storage and data processing.

7 Data Analysis We are experts in the use of software for wind analysis, energy yield predictions and site layout optimisation. Accurate data is essential to your project's economics. With expertise in accurate wind energy yield prediction and experience of working with some of the most challenging sites, our team has the knowledge to ensure your data is accurate and robust. Our services include: Fast deployment and a quality installation are the benchmarks of our service. Onshore and Offshore Lattice Towers Our IRATA-3 trained engineers install both instrumentation and custom dataloggers onto onshore and offshore lattice towers. We will also supply additional equipment including fog horns, tide-level sensors, aircraft warning systems and satellite communication systems. Once your masts are installed, we give you peace of mind by conducting a schedule of combined structural and instrumentation inspections ensuring your masts meet stringent standards and performance targets.

The Dulas logo represents some of the key elements of our business. In it you can see the sun s rays, the blades of a high-torque wind turbine or a cut-away of a hydro turbine. The wave through the centre is a sine-wave of an electrical alternating current, the output of many of our technologies. What more would you expect from a bunch of very clever people?
