Environmental Startup Documents for Offshore Wind Farms

messi16

The energy transition driven by the development of renewable energies has contributed to increasing requests for the installation of new wind farms and terrestrial and marine photovoltaic plants. The implementation of this type of facilities has an impact on the environment, the evaluation of which is necessary within the framework of community, state and regional environmental evaluation legislation. Sfera Environmental Project continues to carry out Initial Strategic Documents for offshore energy projects, mainly in the Canary Islands, one of the regions with the greatest potential in wave energy.

In the creation of this type of documents, a Ecuador Email List methodology is followed in which an analysis of alternatives, a territorial diagnosis and the affected environment, an analysis of the technical feasibility and its impact on the environment, as well as the vulnerability of the project, are carried out. the proposal of corrective and protective measures and the monitoring and control program. Thus, with the creation of this document, the Sfera team participated in the drafting of the base document to request zone reservation and concession of the maritime-terrestrial public domain, for the installation of a floating offshore wind farm, with the objective of generating of clean and renewable electrical energy and injection of the same into the High Voltage Electrical Grid on the Island.



The Initial Project Document is prepared in accordance with the provisions of Law , of December , on environmental evaluation and Law of December , which modifies Law , of December , on environmental evaluation, Law July by which Law of November , on Forests and Law, of March  by which The regime for trading greenhouse gas emission rights is regulated, to begin the environmental impact assessment procedure for Offshore Wind Farm Projects. Furthermore, according to Law , of December , on the protection of the marine environment, it is necessary to carry out a prior analysis of the compatibility of the project with the requirements established in the aforementioned Law.
