Environmental impact assessment

Project description
and objectives:

The proposed project relates to the construction and operation of a 156MW wind farm located in the Kavarna region, in the North East part of Bulgaria about 3km inland from the Black Sea.

The project will contribute approximately 1% of Bulgaria’s energy consumption and will significantly increase Bulgaria’s wind generation capacity, as currently only one other large scale farm (35MW) has just completed construction in the Country.

The project will consist of 52 wind turbines using Vestas V90 3MW turbines.

There is a project summary document available for this project.
