For example, local communities, NGOs, and academia are included in the stakeholder engagement steps during the various phases of an asset’s life cycle.

For offshore wind farms, a buffer zone of 25 km is applied, whereas the buffer zone is 10 km for onshore wind and solar farms. These buffers have been determined based on best practice rooted in science and to recognize relevant interactions with protected areas for nature conservation or key biodiversity areas.
