More biodiversity in the solar park - step by step

New digital guide for municipal stakeholders on the planning, construction and operation of solar parks

Well planned and implemented, solar parks can make a contribution to the energy transition and become valuable habitats, according to the BfN-funded project ‘Solar energy and nature conservation: realising more biodiversity in solar parks - SuN-divers’. The Competence Centre for Nature Conservation and Energy Transition (KNE) shows how this can be achieved in municipal planning practice with the new knowledge platform https://natur-im-solarpark.de/

Municipal stakeholders, authorities, nature conservation organisations and energy agencies involved in planning and implementation can find the associated options for nature conservation instruments for each phase of urban land-use planning. The digital guide thus offers a constantly updated step-by-step guide to species protection assessments, the application of impact regulations and the creation of maintenance and development concepts - from the creation of a municipal development concept or a project planner's preliminary building enquiry to the land use and development plan to the decision on the articles of association and the construction and operation of the plant: practical, detailed and results-oriented.
