Seascape Effects by Wind Turbines — 5km

Rátáil oscailteachta:

Seascape effects of wind turbines up to 5km from shoreline are downloadable as GIS shapefiles. SEAI commissioned a Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA), completed in 2010, to inform policy-making in the Offshore Renewable Energy Development Plan (OREDP). One set of SEA evaluations was seascape assessments. In 2014 the OREDP was published. (References to both reports below). A zipped collection of shapefiles in spatial reference system WGS 84 (EPSG:4326) is downloadable below. The shapefiles assign category values of seascape effects around the Irish coast (excl. N. Ireland). Appendices in SEA Volume 4 describe these category values in detail (reference below). All volumes of the SEA are accessible by using the search bar in SEAI's website (http://www.seai.ie). The Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) offers wind-energy data in its Wind Atlas, a digital map of Ireland's wind energy resource (http://gis.seai.ie/wind). SEAI's wind-energy datasets assist wind energy planners, developers and policy makers. References SEA Environmental Report Volume 1: Non-Technical Summary.
