Balancing Solar Energy Generation and Pilot Safety at Airports
Aviation is a significant producer of greenhouse gas emissions, generating approximately 3.5% of total emissions in 2020, and has been steadily increasing over time . As such, airports are seeking ways to make air travel greener. In a recent article we explored the opportunities to produce zero-emission aircraft, but another…
Energy NPS Series, Part 2: EN-1
The first National Policy Statement (NPS) covered in this series is naturally the Overarching National Policy Statement for Energy (EN-1). In this article, we will provide a general overview of EN-1 and outline the civil and military aviation and defence interests we consider when assessing Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects (NSIPs).…
Absolut-ely Amazing Paper Bottles
For decades now, we have bought many liquids in glass bottles: Milk, Gin, Beer, Vodka, Perfumes, Coca-Cola, Sauces such as Ketchup, Spreads such as jam, Vinegar, Sparkling water. Some of the companies that produce these items have since moved over to plastic bottles, or cans, but the question is, what…
Baltic State Series, Part 6: Challenges for Wind Power in the Baltic States
In this sixth article of our series, we will look at the challenges facing the Baltic States, as they look to realise the potential of wind power in this region. As explored in Part 5 of this series, the Baltic States have a combined installed wind power capacity of just…

“Let There Be Glare”
Here at Pager Power, we deal extensively in reflections of sunlight on solar panels and the façades of buildings, and are particularly concerned with the negative impact these glint and glare reflections can cause upon road and railway safety, residential amenity and aviation activity. However, one small village in north…
Back to Basics, Part 3: The Grid
In the third instalment of our 2024 ‘Back to Basics‘ series, we look at one aspect of the renewable energy transition in more detail – electricity networks. Electricity grids are responsible for the generation, transmission, storage, and distribution of power across and between nations . A distribution network resembles a…
New ICAO OLS Series – The Take Off Climb Surface
The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has proposed new obstacle limitation surfaces (OLS) which are expected to be brought into force from November 2028. Following our November article, in which we presented a high-level exploration into how and why the surfaces might be changing, over the next few months we…
