Environment and Community Management

Birds, bats, noise and neighbours

Environment and Community Management

Ecological monitoring, noise and shadow flicker management, and landowner and village relations programmes.

Advisory contract

Environmental and community management is the social counterpart of a wind farm's operating licence. Our team includes an ornithologist, a bat specialist, environmental engineers and community liaison officers.

Ecological monitoring

  • Three years of pre-construction monitoring, followed by seasonal collision surveys
  • Radar and camera-based detection of migrating birds with automatic turbine shutdown during high-risk hours
  • Curtailment at low wind speeds based on bat activity

Community and noise

Noise and shadow flicker are modelled for the dwellings closest to turbines and verified by measurement during operation. The complaints line is open 24/7 and replies are given within five working days.

We also advise other wind developers on post-EIA monitoring programmes and community liaison.

Scope of service

  • Radar-assisted bird shutdown
  • Bat monitoring
  • Noise and flicker modelling
  • 24/7 complaints line

Frequently asked questions

How many households can one wind turbine supply?
A 4 MW turbine at our sites generates about 13 GWh a year on average, equal to roughly 5,200 homes at 2.5 MWh per household.
Are turbines noisy?
Turbines are sited at least 500-1,000 m from homes. Noise is modelled to stay under 40 dBA by day at the nearest dwelling and verified by measurement during operation.
How can I tell if my land suits a wind project?
An annual average wind speed above 7 m/s, proximity to the grid and distance from settlements are the key criteria. Send your land details via the contact form; the initial assessment is free.
How is land rent determined?
Rent consists of a fixed annual fee per turbine plus a share linked to generation revenue, indexed to inflation. Most of the field stays in agricultural use.
What is the minimum consumption for a corporate PPA?
A physical PPA generally suits annual consumption of 5 GWh and above. For smaller consumers, YEK-G certificate supply is suitable.
