The “no” of the Atmosphere Committee of the Area of Epirus to the floating photovoltaic station, with an influence of 103 MW, within the synthetic lake of Pournario Arta, was unanimous, after the detrimental opinion of the Municipality of Artaia.
The world of the unreal lake of Pournario quantities to 18,000 sq.m. roughly and the protection of the park, which could have a polygonal form, will exceed 1000 sq.m., i.e. it would occupy 5.9% of the world, as famous by the Division of Atmosphere of the Area, whereas it’s value noting that the Pournario lake, in addition to the coastal space, are designated as Wildlife Refuges
The chairman of the Fee, deputy regional governor Vassilis Gorgolis, introducing the matter, famous that the protection of a giant a part of the lake by the photovoltaic parks will create an issue on the seabed with the a whole lot of concrete or metallic bases, in addition to their anchorages, which – in line with the Division of the Atmosphere, could trigger detrimental results on the benthic organisms and the habitats of the aquatic organisms each on the seabed and within the coastal zone.
Additionally, with the creation of the floating photovoltaic plant, it’s estimated that the microclimate of the world each contained in the lake and out of doors it (coastal space) will likely be enormously affected when it comes to each day temperature variation, the estimated enhance in water temperature, the estimated enhance in humidity charges within the lake space from the discount in evapotranspiration that may outcome from the protection of a giant a part of the lake’s floor by photovoltaic parts and the attainable alternation and differentiation of the seasons within the wider space.
Amongst different issues, there may be an evaluation that such a large-scale PV system will likely be weak to wind pace fluctuations and because of this there may be the potential for a small or medium-range accident (collisions of PV parts with one another) from any ripples , which can be created within the set up space of the PV park, in addition to that there will likely be a change within the aesthetics of the panorama of the lake space from the proposed development of the mission in query. Lastly, it’s identified that the OHE of the Pournario lake must be taken into consideration.
A detrimental place was additionally taken on behalf of the factions that take part within the Atmosphere Committee, the regional councilor of the “Public of Epirus” faction Thodoris Koronaios, the top of the “Individuals’s Rally” Giorgos Prentzas and the regional councilor of the “Horizons of Epirus” faction Spyros Yfantis.
The Pournario mission is among the three requested by TERNA Vitality, with the EIAs being within the opinion course of. The opposite two are a 120 MW floating photovoltaic station within the synthetic lake of Kastraki and a 42 MW within the synthetic lake of Stratos in P.E. Etoloakarnanias.
Replace the detrimental opinion
The Atmosphere Committee didn’t take the chance of any drawback within the water provide of a giant space that’s irrigated by the springs of Agios Georgios of the Louros River, in Philippiada, by once more giving a detrimental opinion on a small hydroelectric mission, with a capability of two.13 MW.
The corporate, which had submitted the request for a similar mission in 2019, got here again with a research by EAGME (previously IGME), which, in line with researcher Dimitris Dimitriou, doesn’t see any hazard for the sources. The research was questioned by the geologist and member of GEOTEE Dimitris Garidis, whereas all of the members of the Fee additionally spoke negatively, following the advice of the Service.
The official suggestion considers that the precise mission shouldn’t be allowed, as, amongst different issues, as a result of explosives that will likely be used, it would have an effect on the groundwater within the space of the springs and it’s situated throughout the zone of excessive danger of flooding, in line with the Basin Administration Plan Water Runoff.
T. Koronaios, additionally in his capability because the president of GEOTEE Epirus, famous that Preveza, Arta, Lefkada and Vonitsa are equipped with water from these sources, areas which can be already going through water scarcity issues when the vacationer inhabitants will increase. “And in GEOTEE there was unanimity concerning the conclusion. Even when we fall out, who will take that danger? The mission was badly introduced again, after it was voted in opposition to in 2019”, he famous.
The Fee additionally gave a detrimental opinion on a PV station, with a capability of 32.60 MW, within the location of Evrymena, within the Postal Code. Delvinakopoulos of the Municipality of Zitsa, whereas her opinion was constructive – with situations – for a small hydroelectric mission, with an influence of 0.75 MW on the Raftanitis stream, in D.E. Pramanton, of the Municipality of North Tzoumerka. Lastly, the dialogue on the development of a small hydroelectric mission in Gerakari, on the river Arachthos, was postponed.
Growing the capability of fish farms
The Atmosphere Committee additionally gave a constructive opinion on the rise of the capability of two fish farming items which can be already working within the institutionalized POAU of Thesprotia, particularly within the Sayadas Strip. Particularly, the constructive opinions concern the Environmental Influence Examine recordsdata for the growth of a floating Mediterranean marine fish farming unit, which operates in a sea space of 20 sq. meters, to 40 sq. meters, with a rise in annual capability from 190 to 495 tons/12 months and parallel modernization two of its floating services and growth of accompanying land infrastructure within the Ormos Bay location and for the relocation and growth of a floating Mediterranean marine fish farming unit, which operates in a marine space of 19.96 hectares, to 40 hectares, with a rise in annual capability from 500 to 650 tons/12 months and parallel modernization of its floating services and approval of the intervention of a public forest space with a rise within the annual capability of an current packaging plant accompanying land infrastructure, within the Pagania bay location.
The opinions of the Fee had been additionally constructive for the M.P.E., regarding a rise within the capability of a poultry farm from 17,800 to 24,000 free-range broiler chickens, within the location “Botsi”, within the Postal Code.
