Wind power generation environmental protection acceptance standards

6 FAQs about [Wind power generation environmental protection acceptance standards]

What are the EHS Guidelines for wind energy?

The EHS Guidelines for Wind Energy include information relevant to environmental, health, and safety aspects of onshore and offshore wind energy facilities.

When does a wind energy project need an EA?

A wind energy project might require an EA if it is determined that the project is likely to have a significant impact on the environment, create widespread public concern, have an effect on a unique feature of the environment, or substantially utilize a provincial resource.

When should wind energy be applied?

It should be applied to wind energy facilities from the earliest feasibility assessments, as well as from the time of the environmental impact assessment, and continue to be applied throughout the construction and operational phases. Annex A contains a full description of industry activities for this sector.

What is standardization in wind energy generation systems?

Standardization in the field of wind energy generation systems including wind turbines, wind power plants onshore and offshore and interaction with the electrical system (s) to which energy is supplied.

What are good-practice standards and guidance for wind energy?

The development and implementation of good-practice standards and guidance for wind energy into Canadian provincial and territorial EA systems may be led by the CCME, similar to existing national standards and guidance for such matters as contaminated sites (CCME 2016) or groundwater sustainability assessment (CCME 2016b).

What is a wind energy assessment (EA)?

This includes EA systems that require some form of assessment for all wind energy projects, determinations on a project-by-project basis considering impact potential, and threshold-based determinations – with thresholds of varying generation capacities, turbine height (or blade length), setback distances, sound generation, or number of turbines.
