| ## Threats ☠️🛑🚨☢︎💩☣︎ | |
| - Changes in government policies and regulations regarding renewable energy. | |
| - Increased competition from other renewable energy sources (e.g., wind, biomass). | |
| - Potential for technological disruptions that could render existing solar technology obsolete. | |
| - Negative public perception due to environmental concerns or visual impact. | |
| - Economic downturns that could impact investment in renewable energy projects. | |
| - Cybersecurity threats to the solar farm's control systems. | |
| ## Recommendations 💡✅ | |
| - Within 3 months, conduct a comprehensive market analysis to identify potential 'killer applications' such as agrivoltaics or integrated EV charging, led by the Business Development team. | |
| - Within 6 months, establish partnerships with local communities and environmental organizations to address concerns and gain support, managed by the Stakeholder Relations Manager. | |
| - Within 12 months, develop a detailed plan for integrating energy storage solutions to mitigate intermittency, overseen by the Engineering Manager. | |
| - Continuously monitor and adapt to changes in government policies and regulations, with the Legal and Compliance Officer providing monthly updates. | |
| - Within 18 months, implement a robust cybersecurity plan to protect the solar farm's control systems, led by the IT Security team. | |
| ## Strategic Objectives 🎯🔭⛳🏅 | |
| - Achieve 50 MW solar farm operational capacity within 24 months, measured by energy output and grid integration success. | |
| - Secure all necessary permits and regulatory approvals within 12 months, demonstrated by obtaining required documentation from Danish authorities. | |
| - Establish positive relationships with local communities, achieving a satisfaction rating of 80% based on community surveys within 18 months. | |
| - Develop and implement an energy storage solution plan within 12 months, measured by the plan's feasibility and potential for mitigating intermittency. | |
| - Identify and develop a 'killer application' (e.g., agrivoltaics) within 6 months, measured by the potential for increased revenue and market differentiation. | |
| ## Assumptions 🤔🧠🔍 | |
| - The Danish government will continue to support renewable energy projects through subsidies and incentives. | |
| - The cost of solar panel technology will remain competitive compared to other energy sources. | |
| - The local community will be receptive to the solar farm project with proper engagement and mitigation of concerns. | |
| - The grid infrastructure will be capable of handling the additional energy generated by the solar farm. | |
| - No major technological disruptions will render the planned solar technology obsolete within the project timeline. | |
