Casais Wind Farm

Casais Wind Farm, located in the Montemuro Mountain consists of 1 wind turbines with 2.3 MW of unit power and a total installed power of 2.3 MW and the construction of a substation and control building.

The connection of the park to the power grid is made through a 15 kV power line with a length of 4,5 km that connects to Castelo de Paiva Substation.

The environmental studies included:

• Characterization of the reference situation in order to identify and limit archaeological and ecological sensitive areas, which could condition the establishment of the wind farm;
• Identification, forecast and assessment of potential impacts, positive or negative, arising from the implementation of the wind farm, immediate or long term, during the construction, exploration and decommissioning phases;
• Definition of a set of measures capable of minimizing the identified potential negative impacts.

Environmental and Archaeological Monitoring was carried out during the construction phase and Environmental Monitoring during the initial exploration phase.
