When it comes to the construction and operation of wind turbines, Sabowind puts a great deal of energy into finding and planning suitable compensation measures, which we implement together with the community to try to compensate for impacts right in the local area. The final agreement on compensation measures is then made with the nature conservation authorities. From unsealing of soils to planting of vegetation to the creation of naturalistic wetlands, no measure is off limits for enhancing the natural landscape and offering ecological added value for animals and nature.
We bring your projects to fruition.
Compensation measures include the following focal points
Natural landscape
- Structuring and enhancing the natural landscape
- Planting vegetation to create new refuges and feeding habitats for insects, birds and small mammals
Species conservation
- Creating new habitats by compensating for lost nesting areas
- Contributing to bird conservation
Soil
- Restoration of sealed areas
- Disposal of contaminated soils
- Reclamation of areas for nature conservation
Selected compensation projects
Hedge plantation creates territories for many species
Plantation of indigenous bushes
The construction of a wind turbine at Zug (Middle Saxony) was compensated by planting a hedge on an area of 1.750 m2 within the community of Bobritzsch-Hilbersdorf.
Besides improving the landscape, the planted indigenous bushes provide food for animals of the agricultural landscape (e.g. bird species such as red-backed shrike, yellowhammer and red kite), create new habitats as well as refuges and promote habitat network. Furthermore, other groups of species, like bats, that are potentially affected by wind turbines, benefit from such landscape structures.
