The president of E.ON Spain, Miguel Antoñanzas, and the rector of the University of Cantabria (UC), Federico Gutiérrez-Solana, have signed a collaboration agreement to study and evaluate the possible visual impact that the wind farms that E.ON Renovables will install in the region have on the environment and the minimizations that can be taken in this regard.
According to the agreement, the R+D+i Group specialized in 'Graphic Expression of Engineering-CAD (EGICAD)' and integrated into the Department of Geographical Engineering and Graphic Expression Techniques of the Higher Technical School of Civil Engineers, Channels and Ports of the UC will provide advice and technical support to E.ON in the development phase of the wind power that was assigned by the regional government in June 2010.
The collaborative work includes a license for the use of the MOYSES v3.0 computer program, a technology owned and developed by the UC within the framework of the "MOYSES v3.0. (Modeler and simulator for the evaluation of visual impact)" funded by the Ministry of Development.
The agreement is valid for three years, extendable for two more years, as reported by E.ON in a statement in which it recalls that the regional executive assigned last June the 1,400 MW of installed wind power of the Cantabrian tender. As he highlights, the project involves an investment of more than 2,300 million euros.
The E.ON group, which participated through its subsidiary E.ON Renovables, has been awarded Zone F with 210 MW.
