Wider Environmental Concerns

Whist looking after these…

GP WIND’s contribution…• Address barriers to the deployment of onshore and offshore

wind generation.

• Bring together developers, regional and local government, environmental agencies and NGOs from differing countries to share experiences

• Recording and sharing good practice.

• Develop a guide to good practice and a 'how to' toolkit, which will be used to facilitate deployment of renewable energy in support of the 2020 targets.

The goal…

In setting out a large scale project like this

there will always be some of this…

A little of this…

But mostly, lots of this…

A critical issue for me is…

PROJECT SCOPE

Project Scope

• The project’s outputs and recommendations will focus on off-shore and on-shore wind energy.

Giulia Cammozzini Project Manager

Scottish Government

The Methodology

• Surveys• Detailed case studies of onshore and offshore wind

energy projects. • Identifying market barriers and process failures • Pulling together good practice which can be

transferred to other regions and technologies.

The Project Outputs• Increase the consenting rate for on and offshore wind

projects

• Build evidence based support for the design, planning and implementation of projects which are sensitive to environmental and community concerns;

• Assist quicker, more transparent and less costly deployment of wind energy across Europe,

• Secure endorsement of project outputs
