2PROJECT MANAGEMENT
1. Introduction
The project is based on the development and installation of a new wind turbine in order to
develop the community energy scheme that has been initiated by the national government. As a
part of the scheme, energy will be produced by the communities rather than purchasing the same
from external sources. Since other sources of energy are very expensive and hard to main, the
chosen medium of energy generation is wind energy. Not only the cost of generation is very low
but also the energy production is environment friendly and will not have any negative impact on
the surrounding environment.
In this report, a basic project plan has been developed for the wind turbine installation
project based on the community energy scheme using different project management tools and
techniques.
2. Project Context
Few years ago, a community energy scheme was planned and approved for various
localities in the country in which, energy will be produced by the resident communities at
cheaper rates to fulfill their own electricity demands as well as supply the additional energy to
the national energy fund. In addition to reduced production cost, another major focus of this
scheme is to protect the environment and promote the generation of clean and green energy. As
per the scheme, it has been proposed that wind turbines will be constructed and installed in the
localities as there is no pollution involved with the energy generation. The turbines will utilize
the wind energy for the generation of power that will be distributed to the various households
and commercial centers.

3. Rationale for Proposed Plan and Choice of Methods
The proposed plan of the project involves the development and installation of a wind
turbine on a selected piece of land. The actual installation is set to consume about 5 to 6 months
and the preset budget for the project is £600K. Now considering the overall scope and budget for
the project, it may seem to be very expensive and not worth all the effort for the community.
However, the government is funding for the project and moreover, after the installation of the
wind turbine is complete, the energy generation costs will be very low and there will be minimal
requirements for maintenance of the wind turbine. Furthermore, there are very low chances of
accidents from the wind turbines unlike other energy generation plants like nuclear plans,
thermal plants and others. Hence, the project is feasible and rational for the community if it is
well funded and supervised by the best experts in order to develop high quality outcome for the
project.
There are several project management tools and methods that are used by project
managers to develop an appropriate project plan. For the purpose of this project, the tools and
methods selected include – PESTLE analysis, work breakdown structure, Gantt chart, risk
analysis, RACI matrix and the stakeholder management strategy.
4. Application of Project Management Tools and Techniques in the Project
4.1 PESTLE Analysis for the Given Case
The PESTLE analysis for the project is conducted as follows.
Political – The local government may not approve the project due to various technical
and non-technical factors associated with the project.

4PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Economic – The national government will fund for the project and the wind turbine can
be run and energy can be generated at very low costs. Hence, the project has favorable economic
factors.
Social – The people in the community will receive electricity at very low costs after the
wind turbine starts functioning and hence, they will favor the project.
Technological – The project is not affected much by technological factors. The project
only requires updated technical setup for the power control room and the electrical circuits.
Legal – This is a government approved community scheme project and is unlikely to be
affected by legal factors.
Environmental – Although the energy is green and clean, the construction of the wind
turbine can significantly harm the environment in a negative way. Hence, the environmental
impact of the project is negative.

5. Conclusion
Finally, it can be concluded that it is a major scale project and it will take a total of 300
working days (6 months for installation works and the rest of the time for planning, reviewing
and finalization). It has also been assumed and estimated that £600k is sufficient to complete this
project and get the turbine running. After the construction is complete, the turbine will generate
clean and green energy and is expected to fulfill the energy requirements of the community.
