How does it contribute to the objective?
For this project, the focus is mainly on maintaining the existing biodiversity while generating green power.
How are the criteria of the objective met?
Criteria :
Respect and/or enhance the specific environmental and ecological qualities of the area (e.g. topography, landscape type, local flora and fauna, etc.).
Maintenance criteria:
For each site, Aquafin has issued guidelines for the management of the site's biodiversity, which are included in a framework contract for the management of green spaces.
How:
When placing solar panels we also take into account the visual aspect, we try to hide them as much as possible from the view of cyclists and walkers.
The location should have minimal impact on existing biodiversity, and we try to offset the negative impact elsewhere on the site, for example by not shading a pond sunbed.
The area around our solar panels should be maintained with the utmost respect for biodiversity, for example by progressive mowing instead of traditional mowing.
What are the benefits of the project ?
The good cooperation and dialogue with the technical people ensures that there is also more understanding among them about this new approach. We also note that greater awareness has emerged when talking about the importance of biodiversity.
