Energy developments are ongoing.  The following are linked to wind power. 

Conflicts and disasters can happen anywhere—in the middle of a vast desert, on an isolated island, or in the dark arctic tundra. No matter where those catastrophes happen, the military and humanitarian organizations that sprint to aid affected communities need fast access to one critical resource: electrical power.

DOE Looks at How Wind Turbines Could Power Defense and Disaster Relief

A new MIT study finds that the health benefits associated with wind power could more than quadruple if operators prioritized turning down output from the most polluting fossil-fuel-based power plants when energy from wind is available.

Health Benefits of Using Wind Energy Instead of Fossil Fuels Could Quadruple 

Eolus has acquired a Polish onshore wind project in early-stage development. The project, located in southwestern Poland, is Eolus’ first onshore wind project in Poland and is planned to be ready for construction in 2028. Land leases are secured for 86 MW and the ambition is to further expand the project to at least 100 MW. This is an important step for Eolus, since focus in Poland up until now has been on large scale development of solar power.

The topic of scalability is at the forefront of the wind energy industry. And rightfully so, if we’re to meet the ambitious energy targets that have been set. Naturally, the increase of project size is a factor inherently linked to scalability. And for onshore wind, this creates a new set of regulatory challenges for owners and operators.

One key example of this is in France. Today, wind energy is the third largest source of electricity. And there is no slowing down. According to the Energy Transition for Green Growth Act (2015), 40% of electricity consumption should be from renewable sources by 2030.

At the same time, achieving this level of growth becomes a balancing act that needs to be adhered to, specifically with regards to the environment and biodiversity.

Which brings us to bats.

Pending the outcomes of mandatory, environmental impact studies during the development stage, some French wind farms can be subject to environmental restrictions that relate to avifauna species including bats.

The environmental restrictions enforced by the public regional agencies (DREAL) outline the operational curtailment that must be applied when various environmental conditions are met.
