PROJECT CONCEPTUAL DESIGN

     FIRST PROPOSAL                                                                                                                                                                      OPTIMIZED PROPOSAL

PVE Dolenja vas: A Commitment to Sustainable Energy Development PVE Dolenja vas is pivotal in advancing Slovenia's renewable energy infrastructure. The project in Dolenja vas contributes to the country's commitments under the EU's renewable energy targets and Slovenia's National Energy and Climate Plan (NEPN). The initiative showcases a balanced approach to energy development, prioritizing environmental stewardship, community involvement, and the application of innovative technology.

From 11 to 7 wind turbines
The first initiative included 11 wind turbines strategically located based on Wind conditions in the area, ensuring optimal energy generation, Suitability of peaks and ridges for wind potential, accessibility via existing routes or feasible new access routes, adequate distance from residential areas, and compatible with protected and endangered habitats. Despite meeting legislative requirements for distance and environmental factors, stakeholder feedback highlighted the need for further adjustments to reduce potential impacts on the local community and environment.
The optimized proposal reduces the number of turbines to seven, incorporating mitigation measures to minimize the visual impact on the landscape, reduce noise levels for nearby communities, enhance protection for local biodiversity and habitats, and address concerns raised by stakeholders and local residents. Local stakeholders' input profoundly influenced PVE Dolenja vas's planning process. The project team prioritized coexistence with the community, ensuring that the revised layout minimized the effects on people and wildlife while preserving protected species and habitats. The optimized proposal uses advanced tools and mapping technologies to position the turbines where they are least visible, demonstrating a strong commitment to harmonizing the project with its surroundings.

Why Dolenja vas? The area was selected due to favorable wind conditions and terrain for efficient energy generation, strategic positioning at appropriate altitudes, existing road networks enabling accessibility and transport, and proximity to necessary infrastructure for energy distribution. PVE Dolenja vas embodies a forward-looking approach to renewable energy, integrating cutting-edge technology with sustainable practices and reflecting a strong commitment to community collaboration.

PVE Griže - Veliko Polje is pivotal in advancing Slovenia’s renewable energy infrastructure. The project, located in Sežana, contributes to the country’s commitments under the EU’s renewable energy targets and Slovenia’s National Energy and Climate Plan (NEPN). The initiative demonstrates a balanced approach to energy development, prioritizing environmental stewardship, community involvement, and technological innovation.

From 14 to 7 wind turbines

The initial initiative included 14 wind turbines strategically located based on Wind conditions in zone III, suitability of peaks and ridges for wind potential, accessibility via existing routes or feasible new access routes, adequate distance from residential and infrastructure areas, and compatibility with protected and endangered habitats. Despite meeting legislative requirements for distance and environmental factors, stakeholder feedback emphasized further adjustments to reduce potential effects on the local community and environment.

Why Griže – Veliko Polje? The area was selected due to favorable wind conditions and terrain, strategic location at appropriate altitudes for optimal energy generation, existing road networks for accessibility and transport, and proximity to infrastructure, including the A1 motorway and RTP Divača.

PVE Ilirska Bistrica

PROJECT CONCEPTUAL DESIGN

The project for the Wind Farm Ilirska Bistrica (PVE Ilirska Bistrica) represents a significant step towards Slovenia's energy transition, aiming to increase the share of renewable energy in the national grid. The project proposes the construction of nine wind turbines with a joint capacity of approximately 63 MW. The turbines will feature state-of-the-art designs to minimize noise and visual impacts while maximizing efficiency.
The initiative aligns with national and EU energy strategies, including Slovenia's Integrated National Energy and Climate Plan (NEPN). The project's location in Ilirska Bistrica was chosen based on optimal wind conditions, adequate distance from residential areas, and adaptable existing infrastructure.
In line with Slovenian regulations, comprehensive environmental and technical studies are underway, covering aspects like noise, biodiversity, hydrology, and archaeology. Public participation is actively encouraged, with open consultations and plans for a mobile information office in 2025. The project promises benefits for the local community, including annual compensation to the municipality, infrastructure improvements, and opportunities for ecological and tourism-related developments. With an emphasis on sustainability and collaboration, the project embodies a forward-looking approach to renewable energy development.

Why Ilirska Bistrica? The analysis revealed that this area offers: Sufficient distance from settlements and residents, suitable wind speeds, existing access roads in the planned area which will be appropriately upgraded, easements for the cable route are already secured, only a few locations in Slovenia have such characteristics, preliminary studies for VE Knežak demonstrated the suitability of the location for the establishment of the wind farm.
