If you get a feasibility permit, it must include some important details. You need to know the name of the person or company holding the permit. The permit must also say what kind of renewable energy will be used if a commercial permit is granted.

The permit must specify how much power will be generated and the area where the work will happen. It must also have a start and end date. You have to start certain activities within 12 months of the start date, as outlined in section 16(cc).

The permit must list the conditions you must follow and any other details required by the regulations.
