Each of the areas earmarked for an offshore wind farm (OWF) project in the national Maritime Spatial Plans is characterised by a certain area size, distance from the shore, fishing intensity or specific environmental conditions. These aspects, as well as many other variables, greatly influence the cost and difficulty of the project.
The New Year is a time for reflection and resolutions. Ambiens is mainly about people, but today we will focus on numbers. The analysis of Ambiens’ involvement in the past year, as well as in all of its activities to date, comes out very positively.
Environmental impact assessment is one of the key stages in the development of any offshore wind farm. However, today in Poland, for the 11 projects in phase II, it takes on special significance. It is the environmental decision that is to be one of the 3 key passes to the CfD auction, among the 9 required by the Offshore Act.
We obtained two more environmental decisions for large-scale photovoltaics:
- 110MW pomorskie, RDOŚ Gdańsk
- 90MW zachodniopomorskie, RDOŚ Szczecin
We have started cooperation with GreenArt. In accordance with the maxim, the company treats the entrusted assets with the utmost care and meticulousness, while making the greatest efforts to maximize their efficiency. This approach is in line with Ambiens’ mission and our priorities.
We have developed methodologies for monitoring and research work for wind farms in forests in Poland. Identification of all key areas of the environment in relation to the specifics of the investment and its potential impacts allowed us to develop detailed guidelines for individual components.
One of Ambiens’ values is development and learning. We periodically analyze milestones of ongoing projects, question existing practices looking for improvements, and observe the market and study public materials. One of the offshore wind farm projects under development encountered unexpected involvement from opponents, which is a precedent and may generate broader industry conclusions.
The Partners in the offshore wind market have completed an advisory project for an OWF in the Baltic Sea. A key task was a permitting strategy that included an environmental impact assessment, taking into account the status of remaining milestones in the early stages of development.
We have obtained environmental decision for large-scale PV. 120MW photovoltaic project is being developed by Eurowind Energy A/S in West Pomeranian Voivodeship (RDEP Szczecin). We are happy are proud of another successful environmental impact assessment (EIA). Well done Ambiens Team.
Today Michał Kaczerowski, Ambiens CEO, has honour and pleasure to sign an Polish Offshore wind sector deal.
Many thanks and congratulations to Michał Kurtyka and his Team from Ministry of Climate and Environment. Special thanks also to leaders of working groups who faced combining everyday business activities with industry development.
