Owners / Lenders Engineer
Ensuring optimal, quality and safe outcomes from your EPC through to commissioning.
Engineers to act on your behalf
As an Owners’ Engineer we will provide ongoing review and assessment of all aspects of the design and engineering associated with the project. Your Enhar engineer will coordinate with all the stakeholders effectively to maintain clear lines of communication and ensure there are no lapses throughout the execution of the project.
Our primary responsibility will be to review EPC contractor’s designs, documentation, calculations and reports to ensure that they are fit for purpose. We also check that they are in accordance with all relevant Australian and International standards, Project Technical Requirements, DNSP Technical Requirements, AEMO Standards, DA Requirements and meet all regulatory obligations.
We have experience as owners engineer for large scale solar and battery projects around Australia:
- 14MW solar and BESS in Darwin, NT across two sites in Defence land
As the EPC scope of works generally only extend to the on-site point of connection, and other parties may be responsible for works to the actual point on interconnection with the electricity network. Enhar engineers also review TNSP and DNSP designs, documentation, calculations, and report to ensure that they are fit for purpose and also in accordance with the above requirements.
If you require a dedicated engineer to represent your interests, contact one of our engineers today.
Solar Evaluation for Lenders
As the lenders technical advisor, Enhar review the technical aspects of the project on behalf of financial institutions in detail as well as the related information including energy yield, development approval, grid connection approval, site studies, concept design and technical specifications, including;
- Compliance with Australian Standards and local engineering requirements.
- Identification of any deficiencies in designs, calculations and reports that may be relevant to the project success.
- Compliance with Development Approval requirements.
- Compliance with Technical Requirements.
- Compliance with TNSP and DNSP Requirements.
- Compliance with AEMO Requirements.
- Testing and Commissioning Plans.
- Review Operation and Maintenance Plans.
- Compliance with other regulatory body requirements having jurisdiction over the works.
Reduce the risk on loans to solar farm developers by ensuring they meet all legal and regulatory requirements.
De-risk your loans to solar farm and BESS developer by having a specialist engineer evaluate the project before you sign off on the project.

Director & Head of Utility Services, Co-Founder
Demian has over 20 years of experience in taking solar, wind and storage projects from origination through design and planning to construction. He leads our utility scale solar and storage division and focusses on empowering out team to maximise value delivered for our clients with a team culture of excellence.
Land Aquisition
Secure optimum land where grid and development approval prospects are strong
Land Aquisition
Need to secure land before spending big bucks on grid enquiries?
Competition for grid capacity and land is fierce.
Enhar targets strategic grid capacity locations where suitable land is available to secure the right land in the right locations. Such places include lower value grazing country adjacent to substations, with unrestrictive planning zoning.
Our team researches landowners before meeting face to face so we can get straight down to business.
Through experienced landowner negotiation, Enhar secures Lease Option agreements which are commercially and legally sound.
