As the push for net zero gathers pace, the spotlight is firmly on delivery. Good ideas are everywhere. But how do we turn them into real projects that generate power, create impact and deliver on their promises?
In the latest episode of Apollo’s What On Earth! podcast, Phil Westmorland and Jonathan White speaks with Ross Fairley, Senior Partner at Burges Salmon. With more than three decades of experience advising on renewable energy projects, Ross has seen what works, what doesn’t and the many reasons why.

It covers team dynamics, planning, decision-making and the challenges that arise as projects become more complex and the best sites become harder to find.
