Location of wind farms in the Municipality of Konitsa

The present study aims at creating a map with areas suitable for developing wind farms in the municipality of Konitsa. The rational location in an area with high renewable resources and at the same time small to negligible effects on the natural and human environment is the first stage of a study from a potential investor. As it concerns our country, the basic principles, the specific criteria and location standards have been set by the relative Greek, legal framework. Their control is a necessary step in any decision-making Finally an alternative wind turbine location proposal is presented, based not only in large scale installations but also individual wind turbines in order to cover small loads and back up small hydro – power plants.
