The conclusions of environmental impact studies conducted on the basis of small marine wind farms cannot, however, be used for the design of wider wind farms.

This is the conclusion of the report prepared by the University of Gotland on behalf of the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency. As explained in the report, all studies carried out to date have been done based on small wind parks already built. Currently, however, there are projects of 100 wind turbines, and the environmental impact of such large parks is still unknown. What is clear, however, is that parks of such different dimensions cannot be carried out from the same study.
