The province can start biodiversity programmes at large wind and solar parks so renewable-energy projects also improve the surrounding landscape. Measures can include ecological management, soil recovery, water retention, species-rich planting and monitoring of nature value.
This connection matters because energy infrastructure takes space and can face public resistance. Spatial choices become stronger when projects do more than produce clean energy and also create measurable value for biodiversity, landscape quality and local integration.
