Technologies

Wind power

Harnessing the region's wind, keeping grid, landscape and wildlife together.

Overview

Having wind isn't enough

Wind is the starting point. But a wind project also depends on the connection, the landscape, access for vehicles and the effects on birds and bats.

These aspects should be tackled early, because each one can change the position of the turbines and therefore the project.

What we assess

The questions that decide a wind farm

Wind resource

Site wind data and output estimate.

Landscape and constraints

Integration into the territory and constraints affecting the area.

Wildlife

Birds and bats, to be studied before construction begins.

Noise

Distances and assessments relative to nearby homes and businesses.

Access and transport

Roads and routes to bring components to the site.

Connection

A grid solution compatible with the project schedule.

Monitoring

Wildlife is studied before, during and after

01

Ante operam

The starting condition. Migratory birds pass in specific seasons: a lost season can't be recovered.

02

During construction

Checking temporary effects during construction.

03

Post operam

It depends on the requirements: for wildlife, campaigns of two or three years in operation are common.
