Causes

Effects

Visual impact

changes to the landscape and visual scenario in the surrounding context of the wind farm

Territorial impact

wind farms modify the ground but not the visual impact so much (so that it is always possible to restore the original sites), allowing crops and usual agricultural practices

Noise impact

it is mainly due to the movement of the rotors of the wind turbines which generates noise especially at the ends of the blades

Electromagnetic disturbances

it is due to the presence of big rotors, but they are restricted only to surrounding areas of the wind farm and they mainly concern interference with radio waves

Interaction with the birds and migratory

integration of wind farms in areas with high wildlife interest (especially wetlands) in which there are birds considered protected or endangered species and migratory routes
