An essential component of the permission process required for any new wind farm development is the environmental impact assessment. Notwithstanding the “green”nature of wind farm power stations, their potentially negative effect on the environment quality must be assessed as National and European laws dictate.

The main environmental effects of wind farms are visual, noise and bird collisions on rotating wind turbine blades.

International Wind Engineering prepares complete Environmental Impact Assessment^* (EIA) of wind projects taking into account effects on fauna and flora, land use restrictions, visual intrusion, noise emissions from operating wind turbines, local considerations etc. In collaboration with the developer and the involved authorities we provide an optimized wind farm layout acceptable by all interested parties.

(*) International Wind Engineering staff are authorized by Greek State to prepare and sign EIA studies according to National Law.
