The Centre for Renewable Energy Sources and Saving (CRES) is the Greek national entity for the promotion of renewable energy sources, rational use of energy and energy conservation.

NCC Ltd is an ecological consultancy focusing on the conservation of nature and biodiversity.

LIFE is the EU’s financial instrument supporting environmental and nature conservation projects throughout the EU.

The Park of Energy Awareness- PENA was created by CRES to give everyone a chance to see the various forms of renewable energy operating at full and pilot scales, to learn about the technologies used to harness them, and the resulting benefits for the environment and humanity.

The purpose of this document is to provide guidance on how best to ensure that wind energy developments are compatible with the provisions of the Habitats and Birds Directives. It focusses in particular on the procedures to follow under Article 6 of the Habitats Directive when dealing with wind farm related plans and projects which could affect a Natura 2000 site and provides clarifications on certain key aspects of this approval process.

With more communication, higher prestige offered by the sponsors and the recognition shown by agents, higher dynamics thanks to the interest shown by commercial enterprises, the countdown sets off for the preparation of the“Verde.Tec” international exhibition. Sponsorship and support have already been offered by the Central Union of Municipalities of Greece (KEDE), the Centre for Renewable Energy Sources and Saving (CRES), the Hellenic Association of Photovoltaic Companies (HELAPCO), the Greek Association of Environmental Protection Companies (PASEPPE), the Hellenic Wind Energy Association (ELETAEN) and the Hellenic Solid Waste Management Association (HSWMA). In the immediate future even more agents are expected to participate such as Ministries, Chambers and Technical Universities.

DeTect has announced it will install, operate and maintain a Merlin Avian Radar System (ARS) at the Fujeij Wind farm in Jordan. The Merlin radar unit will be built at DeTect’s manufacturing plant in Panama City, Florida, USA and shipped to Jordan for installation at the wind farm.

The purpose of this document is to provide guidance on how best to ensure that wind energy developments are compatible with the provisions of the Habitats and Birds Directives. It focusses in particular on the procedures to follow under Article 6 of the Habitats Directive when dealing with wind farm related plans and projects which could affect a Natura 2000 site and provides clarifications on certain key aspects of this approval process. The Habitats Directive does not, a priori, exclude wind farm developments in or adjacent to Natura 2000 sites. These need to be judged on a case by case basis.

"At Vestas, we see a future where wind power is on a par with oil and gas as a source of energy. This means increasing public understanding and acceptance of turbines by winning the hearts and minds of local communities. It also means making it easier to obtain building permits for new wind farms. We have always taken the health and environmental impacts of wind farms very seriously. Some species of bats are endangered and protected – but in certain areas, a single turbine can cause up to fifty fatalities each year. That’s why we have invested heavily to develop our Increased Cut-In Wind Speed (ICIWS) bat protection system. ICIWS has reduced bat mortality by more than fiftypercent in trials, and in some cases by as much as ninety percent.."

Thursday, 13 December 2018 A workshop on good practices aiming at limiting the impact of wind farms on biodiversity in Greece was organized by the CRES and the NCC company as part of the LIFE12BIO/GR/000554. At the beginning of the workshop, the President of HWEA, Panagiotis Ladakakos, addressed the following: HWEA has supported this specific Life project and considers it extremely positive to bring together the sector of people dealing with biodiversity and the wind industry. Wind energy is the best ally of biodiversity since it is a key weapon to prevent climate change....
