With this...
In an ideal situation, achieving biodiversity potentials at onshore wind farms creates a habitat stepping stone for wild bee and butterfly species, and also for reptiles and amphibians. If required, these areas can also continue to be used as set-up areas or driving surfaces....
In 2018, Lal Lal Wind Farms (the "Employer") engaged Vestas – Australian Wind Technology Pty Ltd (as "Contractor") to engineer, procure and construct 60 wind turbine generators ("WTGs")at two sites in the State of Victoria, Australia. The EPC Contract was complemented by an O&M Agreemen...
Well what has this to do with wind farms, Battery storage and the 400Kv Overhead Line. Quite a lot really as The Highland Council whose leader Raymond Bremner, SNP is a devout believer of wind farms and would like thousands more sited in the Highlands. He sees the incursion of SSE bring...
The influence of wind farms on the landscape is identified in each of these contexts, but in the study of law, the impact of these investments on the environment and people is most often considered. Both landscape protection and the development of renewable energy sources are part of the ...
In a statement, the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water said six developers were granted licences to study the feasibility of offshore wind farms within the declared area. The companies who received the licenses include High Sea Wind Pty Ltd, Gippsland Skies Pty Ltd,...

, around Tasmania and along the mainland’s southwest coast equal those in the North Sea, where offshore wind is an established industry. Wind conditions in southern Australia are also more favourable than in the East China and Yellow seas, which are growth regions for commercial wind farms....
Correcting the post-construction carcass survey outcome with the results from the experiment leads to an almost fourfold increase in estimated mortality rates, largely due to the low detection rate of the smallest category. The detection rates will naturally vary between wind farms, depending on the...
