GHD's Sally Wilson says the creation of a network of independent, accredited renewables assessors that could assess applications on behalf of the proposed new federal Environment Protection Agency (EPA), could accelerate renewable energy approvals through providing more efficient inputs into transparent and rigorous decision-making.
