Wind of the Coast WICO European project launched

A new European funded project to share knowledge and experience regarding the deployment of small wind energy systems along coastlines has been launched with partners from Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom.

The partners in the project are Province of Ravenna in Italy (lead partner), the Diputacion Provincial de Huelva in Spain and Marine South East in the UK. The partners will be identifying and developing best practice in the public sector to promote successful large-scale deployment of renewable energy schemes in order to maximize benefit to the regional economy and environment and society.

The project partners will exchange and bench mark their experiences and knowledge in order to produce guidelines for the installation of small wind systems along coastlines which will provide key information and solutions to a number of issues:

* Information on how to influence and modify local planning rules to simplify the procedures for the installation of small wind systems
* Information on how to overcome the barriers to installations
* Technical information
* Information on the economic viability of small wind systems and financial incentive systems
