Evidence-based bushfire risk assessments that support safe design, regulatory approval, and long-term asset resilience.
Specialist Fire Risk Consulting for Renewable Energy Projects The rapid expansion of renewable energy infrastructure across Australia has created new fire risk challenges. Solar farms, wind farms and battery energy storage systems (BESS) present unique fire hazards that require specialist risk assessment and planning. Agilus provides renewable energy fire risk planning services to support developers, operators and infrastructure investors. Our services include: • BESS fire risk assessments • Thermal runaway mitigation planning • Fire hazard assessments for solar farms • Fire safety strategies for battery storage systems • Renewable energy project compliance consulting • Fire risk mitigation strategies for wind farms
We assess fire hazards associated with renewable energy assets including solar farms, wind farms, battery energy storage systems (BESS) and associated infrastructure. Our assessments consider ignition sources, fuel loads, fire spread pathways and potential impacts on people, assets and surrounding land.
Agilus prepares site-specific Fire and Emergency Management Plans tailored to renewable energy facilities. These plans define response procedures, evacuation strategies, communication protocols and responsibilities for operators, contractors and emergency services, ensuring preparedness across all operational scenarios.
We provide targeted fire risk and emergency planning for battery installations, addressing thermal runaway, suppression strategies, separation distances and emergency access. Our planning supports safe integration of energy storage into renewable developments while meeting evolving regulatory expectations.
Agilus supports planning approvals and compliance processes by preparing documentation aligned with state and local planning controls, fire authority requirements and relevant Australian Standards. We work closely with project teams to ensure fire risk considerations are integrated early, reducing approval delays and redesign costs.
Our services extend beyond approvals to operational risk management. We help asset owners understand long-term fire risk drivers, develop mitigation strategies and implement monitoring and review processes that support safe, reliable and resilient renewable energy operations.
Renewable energy developments face a range of fire hazards including:
These risks must be addressed through comprehensive renewable energy fire risk assessments and mitigation strategies.
This service is essential for organisations involved in:
Developers must also demonstrate compliance with renewable energy project permits, environmental legislation and fire agency requirements.
Failure to properly assess fire risk in renewable energy projects can lead to:
Agilus supports project developers with practical fire risk mitigation strategies that protect both assets and financial investment.
