Key information for wind developers from the Eskdalemuir Interim Guidelines
We have known it was coming since the end of April, and now they have been published. The much anticipated interim guidance document for Eskdalemuir Seismic Array (EKA) and wind developments. And findings from a RenewableUK study say that up to 1GW of wind potential could be unlocked. The interim…
Radar concerns have rendered two turbines motionless
“They’d be more use as washing lines.” This is a comment, published in an article on The Telegraph website, from a resident of the Derby City ward where two wind turbines have been constructed, but aren’t yet spinning due to potential radar impacts on a nearby airport. The turbines will…
Wear Point Wind Farm to become operational today
Congratulations to Infinergy and John Laing who’s joint venture 4 turbine Wear Point Wind Farm is due to become operational today. It is the result of a lot of hard work! We are privileged to have been involved in the 8.2MW capacity Pembrokeshire project, assessing the potential electromagnetic interference (EMI),…
Do you know these 4 ways that the Radar Line of Sight Assessment can help when planning a wind development?
Most of you reading this article will be familiar with what is required when planning a wind development. So you don’t need us to tell you that impact on radar is one of the many areas that it is essential to assess. However what you might not know is that…
UK offshore wind: aviation and radar
You probably know that interference to communications, navigation and surveillance (CNS) infrastructure can cause delays to UK onshore wind developments, especially if it is related to aviation and radar. So it might come as no surprise to be told that the same can apply to offshore wind projects. Knowing the issue…
Wind development aviation & radar planning issues: Turkey
If you have been keeping up to date with UK news, you are more than likely to have read about the Conservative party proposition to stop onshore wind subsidies if they get voted into power in the UK 2015 general election. Many of these news articles make reference to the…
Scottish Government Progress Update on Eskdalemuir
The Scottish Government have published an update on the progress of the Eskdalemuir Working Group (EWG), which says that research has indicated that there is “a likelihood of headroom to allow further wind farm consents without breaching the 0.336nm threshold.” This conclusion was found by the Ministry of Defence (MOD)…
MOD takes legal action over South Uist turbine decisions
Legal Action has been taken by the Ministry of Defence (MOD) regarding the planning approval granted to three turbines over concerns that they may impact upon air defence radar. The BBC reports that the “machines could produce a false “aircraft-like return” and affect the detection capabilities of radar systems.” (Read…
