Challenges to be addressed
The dual use as mountain agricultural areas mixed with natural vegetation in these wind farms represents a challenge. In addition, migratory avifauna during spring and autumn represent an open problem for animal life.
Targets
Biodiversity impact: This pilot will help to better evaluate and unify the natural environment.
Social engagement: The pilot project will demonstrate the possibility of dual land use, combining traditional activities such as agriculture with energy generation.
Replication Potential
Technologies validated can be used in onshore wind farms during operation phase to detect avifauna in real time. Also, it can be used to prevent mortality during pre-construction phase for a better wind farm sitting and for the planning of habitat management actions.
