The 13th Wind Energy Forum – Assessment of wind farms’ impact on birds and bats

Assessment of wind farms’ impact on birds and bats is one of the most important aspects of investment development, involving investors, naturalists carrying out field studies, as well as administration bodies issuing environmental decisions. However, a discussion concerning the guidelines and principles regulating the process may not be carried out without industry representatives. Therefore, the Polish Wind Energy Association decided that the next Wind Energy Forum (5 December 2011, Warsaw, Mariott hotel) will be fully dedicated to the discussion on the methodology of assessment of wind farms’ impact on birds and bats.



The Wind Energy Forum is one of the key industry events. This year’s XIIIth Forum will not only be a platform for exchange of opinions concerning the recommendations applicable to the assessment of wind farms’ impact on birds and bats. We want to discuss Polish and foreign experience in the area of performance of on-site monitoring, methods used to assess the significance of environment al impact, and effective and feasible minimising and compensating measures. We invited a broad spectrum of experts studying environmental impact of wind power as well as representatives of investors to participate in the discussion. Traditionally, conclusions developed during the meeting will be published and submitted to the General Environmental Protection Directorate.

Environmental aspect of this year’s Forum will be additionally emphasized by publication of the "The impact of infrasounds generated by wind turbines on human health" report, developed by Professor Andrzej Dobrucki from the Wrocław University of Technology.
