The Guernsey Renewable Energy Team has today released updated chapters of it Regional Environmental Assessment (REA) to take into account the possibility of offshore wind development. This has lead to a number of Chapters being re-worked, while others remain unaffected.
The new chapters can be found here – with updates having been made to the Birds, Fisheries, Shipping and Landscape chapters. There is also a new Chapter 5, focusing on the wind resource.
It is intended that the update forms an annex to the original REA, rather than being a standalone document. While there is not an official consultation at this time, RET accepts comments and will make any changes to the document as are necessary.
