Co-use opportunities in wind and solar energy projects

2025

This compendium, developed by Ipieca and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), aims to encourage the exploration of co-use opportunities in solar and wind energy projects, focusing on onshore projects. The main co-use strategies typically fall into several key categories, depending on the secondary land use integrated with renewable energy projects. Co-use could include co-locating two or more types of renewable energy generation on one site.

Planificación espacial para desarrollos eólicos y solares e infraestructura asociada

2025 Bennun, L. | Fletcher, C. | Cook, A. | Wilson, D. | Jobson, B. | Asante-Owusu, R. | Dakmejian, A. | Liu, Q. |

La presente nota técnica se centra en la planificación espacial para el desarrollo eólico y solar con respecto a la biodiversidad. Está destinada principalmente a los planificadores gubernamentales responsables del despliegue sostenible a largo plazo y/o la expansión de las energías renovables e infraestructuras asociadas (por ejemplo, infraestructura de red e instalaciones como puertos) a nivel regional, nacional y subnacional.

Aménagement du territoire dans les projets de développement éoliens et solaires et les infrastructures associées

2025

Cette note technique se concentre sur l'aménagement du territoire dans les projets de développement éoliens et solaires en ce qui concerne la biodiversité. Elle s'adresse principalement aux planificateurs gouvernementaux responsables du déploiement et/ou de l'expansion durable à long terme des énergies renouvelables et infrastructures associées (par exemple, infrastructures de réseau et installations telles que les ports) à l'échelle régionale, nationale et infranationale.

Spatial planning for wind and solar developments and associated infrastructure

2024 Bennun, L. | Fletcher, C. | Cook, A. | Wilson, D. | Jobson, B. | Asante-Owusu, R. | Dakmejian, A. | Liu, Q. |

This technical note focuses on spatial planning for wind and solar development with respect to biodiversity. It is intended primarily for government planners responsible for the longterm sustainable roll out and/or expansion of renewable energy and associated infrastructure (e.g. grid infrastructure and facilities such as ports) at regional, national, and sub-national levels.

Μετριασμός Επιπτώσεων στη Βιοποικιλότητα κατά την Ανάπτυξη Ηλιακών και Αιολικών Πηγών Ενέργειας

2021 Bennun, L. | van Bochove, J. | Ng, C. | Fletcher, C. | Wilson, D. | Phair, N. | Carbone, Giulia |

The Synthesis report provides a high-level overview of the main themes addressed in the Guidelines on mitigating biodiversity impacts associated with solar and wind energy development, published in 2021. The Guidelines aim to provide practical support for solar and wind energy devel-opments to effectively manage risks and improve biodiversity and ecosystem service outcomes.

Achieving a climate-resilient future requires rapid, sustained and far-reaching transformations in energy, land-use, infrastructure and industrial systems. Large-scale expansion of renewable energy can play a critical role in meeting the world’s growing energy demands and in the fight against climate change. However, even ‘clean’ energy sources can have significant unintended impacts on the environment.

Mitigar os impactos na biodiversidade associados ao desenvolvimento da energia solar e eólica

2021 Bennun, L. | van Bochove, J. | Ng, C. | Fletcher, C. | Wilson, D. | Phair, N. | Carbone, Giulia |

O Relatório de síntese fornece uma visão geral de alto nível dos principais temas abordados nas Orientações sobre Mitigação dos impactos da biodiversidade associados ao desenvolvimento de energia solar e eólica, publicadas em 2021. As Orientações pretendem prestar apoio prático em empreendimentos de energia solar e eólica para ge-rir eficazmente os riscos e melhorar a biodiversidade e os resultados dos serviços dos ecossistemas.
