Francineide VieiraOitis Wind Farm Consent Manager, Neoenergia 
RPS Energy has worked with Manchester (Advanced Radar Services) on a number of projects whereby their radar models were utilised to understand the key radar issues facing future offshore wind farm developments within the UK. This work has been very useful and informative, has assisted the offshore wind industry with a better understanding of REWS issues, in engaging with relevant stakeholders on these issues and ultimately resulting in the successful resolution to a number of REWS concerns by the oil and gas industry... The work undertaken by Manchester Advanced Radar Services has been of excellent quality and integrity. RPS, on behalf of Orsted, has therefore retained MARS to undertake similar assessments...
