A report on impacts of 15 potential wind farm areas with consideration to technical-economic and environmental factors was published. The conclusions showed that 5 areas had good technical-economic conditions and the overall consequences were considered acceptable, 8 other areas areas could be considered if the conditions warranted and 2 of the areas will never be opened due to issues with land use and environmental conditions.
