GIBB Engineering carried out the Environmental Impact Assessment for the Zapa Wind Farm, comprising six General Electric GE 158 wind turbines rated at 5.8 MW each, totalling 34.8 MW of installed capacity. The project also included the assessment of the 60 kV overhead transmission line, approximately 17.5 km long, linking the wind farm to the Carlinga B substation. The work ensured environmental compatibility of the project with the surrounding territory and compliance with the applicable legal requirements.
The EIA conducted by GIBB covered the following technical disciplines:
- Climate, Air Quality and Climate Change
- Geology, Soils and Land Capability
- Water Resources
- Ecology
- Land Use
- Archaeological, Architectural and Cultural Heritage
- Landscape
- Noise Environment
- Land-use Planning and Constraints
- Socioeconomic Aspects and Human Health
