Post-construction monitoring for wind farms in Romania
Once a wind farm is operating, post-construction monitoring verifies actual impacts against predictions and confirms whether mitigation is working.
What we measure
Bird and bat mortality, the effectiveness of mitigation measures (including curtailment where applied), and any need for adaptive management. Results are reported against the pre-construction baseline. See the standards we work to →
Why it matters
Post-construction monitoring closes the loop a financier expects: it demonstrates that predicted impacts are being managed, and provides the evidence base for adjusting operations if they are not. It is both a permitting obligation and a lender expectation under IFC PS6 and EBRD PR6.
Post-construction monitoring — frequently asked
Is post-construction monitoring mandatory?
It is commonly required by both Romanian permit conditions and international lenders; specific requirements depend on the project.
