In accordance with the Decree on the determination of projects and on the criteria on the basis of
which the need to implement the procedure for the assessment of environmental impacts is
determined ("Official Gazette of the Republic of Moldova" no. 74/05, 109/09, 164/12 and 202/16),
this Project is categorized in the group of generally defined projects for which the need to
implement an environmental impact assessment procedure is determined - Annex II1 ,
Point 3-Energy, (i) Installations for the use of wind power, for the purpose of energy
production (so-called wind farms).
Based on this, the Developer has prepared this Notice of Intent to Carry Out a Project, along with
a checklist to determine the need for environmental impact assessment and a checklist for
determining the extent of environmental impact assessment.
2.2 General data and reasons for justification of the project
The increasing need for electricity in recent years emphasizes the importance of building and
using energy systems from renewable sources. The implementation of the "Petrovo" Wind Park
project will contribute to increasing the share of renewable energy sources in the total production
of electricity in R. S. Macedonia.
Wind energy, as a renewable energy source, has the highest growth rate in the last two decades
and is considered a very important source of electricity for the future. The use of wind energy in
global world electricity production in 2020 is estimated to account for 12%.
In the past period, several studies have been done to determine the potential of wind energy in
Macedonia and to select the most suitable locations for the construction of wind power plants.
According to the geographical location and relief configuration, suitable
locations in Macedonia for the construction of wind power plants are the valley of the river Vardar, that is
Povardarieto, Ovche Pole around Sveti Nikole, as well as the higher mountain parts where there
are high wind speeds. One of the several projects and studies is the produced wind energy atlas.
In accordance with the prepared atlas of wind energy2 and in accordance with the Strategy for
the use of renewable energy sources (RES) in RS. Macedonia, the location in question belongs
to the second group of most favorable locations for the construction of wind power plants. The
following table presents data on the 15 most favorable locations for the construction of wind farms,
including our subject location.

The subject location in Petrovo is included in the second group of potential locations for the construction
of wind power plants. For this group of locations there are no measured values, for which measuring
stations should be installed, and expected production obtained. However, the locations are similar in
configuration to the locations where there are measured values
or they are located near them, so it is to be expected that theirs is too
production would be within the same limits as for the measured locations of the first group.
The total installed capacity of wind farms by 2030, in Rs. S. Macedonia
it is planned to be around 360 MW, with an expected annual production of around 720 GWh.5
2.3. General information about the project
At the site in question, for the construction of the wind park "Petrovo", Municipality of Gevgelija, it is
planned to install 11 columns for wind turbines of the Goldwind brand with a power of 4.2 MW each or
with a total operating power of 40 MW.
Operational parameters of the Goldwind 4.2 MW wind turbines:
- Minimum operating wind speed Vmin = 2.5 m/s - that is, it is the speed at
which starts with the production of electricity;
- Nominal operating speed Vn = 10 m/s - speed at which the unit reaches

its nominal power;
- Maximum operating speed Vmax= 25 m/s - is actually the speed at which the turbine
it stops working.
Wind turbines are composed of three basic parts:
• rotor - 3 blades that convert wind power into low-speed mechanical power;
• generator - control electronics and gear transmission for acceleration

the resulting revolutions suitable for electricity production; and
• carrier - mast (pillar) and tilting mechanism.
The appearance of the wind turbines and their components are shown in the following figure.

Figure 3 Schematic representation of a wind turbine
Goldwind 4.2 MW Turbine Features
The turbine rotor is a free-standing construction with three blades (propellers) mounted on a
support pole. The diameter of the turbine is 155 m.
The aerodynamic profile of the propeller is the main factor that determines the way the kinetic
energy of the wind is converted. Due to the difference in the flow of wind speeds from the back
and the front, a difference in pressure occurs, which results in a driving force, i.e. causes a
torque. In addition to this force, the force of direct wind pressure also acts on the propellers, but
this influence is very small.
Turbine power is regulated by pitch control and rotor speed is variable to maximize aerodynamic
efficiency and reduce load on the gearing system during power control.
7
Generator
The generator is double fed, flat rotor and slip rings. It is cooled by an air exchanger. The control
system allows variable speed operation using frequency control of the rotor intensity. The features
and functions of this generator are:
ÿ Optimal operation, maximizing production and minimizing load and noise, thanks to variable
speed operation.
ÿ Control of active and reactive power by controlling the current phase of

the amplitude and the rotor.
ÿ Easy connection and disconnection from the mains.
Wind turbine support column
The pole on which the wind turbine will be mounted is steel, conical and tubular. The height of the
pillar is 110 m.
Foundation
Standard foundations have a combined truncated cone and cylindrical shape. They will be designed
using calculations based on the load capacity of the wind turbine and
geological surveys of the soil.
During the construction phase of the wind turbines, control of the embedded concrete masses
should be carried out in accordance with the applicable regulation and building regulations in the
Republic of Moldova. S. Macedonia. To dimension the foundations of each wind turbine,
geomechanical testing is currently being carried out at the site. Based on the field and laboratory
tests, a report will be prepared for geological, engineering-geological, hydrogeological,
geomechanical and geophysical research for the locations planned for the installation of each wind
turbine. The results of the Report, as well as the assessment of possible impacts, will be part of
the environmental impact assessment study.
2.3.1. Access and internal roads

To the east of the "Petrovo" wind park site, about 3 km away, is the Demir Kapija - Smokvica
highway section. The "Petrovo" wind park is planned to be connected to the highway Demir Kapija
- Smokvica through the already existing municipal road that leads to the village of Petrovo. From
the village of Petrovo to the site in question, for the needs of the implementation of the project,
the construction of a new access road to the site is foreseen. In addition to the construction of the
new access road, the construction of internal roads to each of the wind turbines is also planned.
Regarding the technical characteristics, the access roads will be dimensioned according to the
needs for installing the wind turbines. They will be made of natural material (macadam), with a
width of about 5 m, a gradient of less than 8% and a radius of curves over 35 m.
8
During the construction phase, the access roads should enable the transport of the machinery
for the execution of the works, the transport of the necessary material for the construction of the
wind turbines and the equipment that will be installed.
2.3.2. Power system connection

The wind park "Petrovo" will be connected to the electricity system through the existing
transformer station TS Dubrovo. More specifically, the connection to the energy system is
planned to be performed through the existing planned and projected 110 kV line and substation
TS 33/110kV – Dren and the construction of a new substation TS Petrovo 35/110kV. TS Dren is
located at a distance of about 8 km from the project site.
3. Location of the project

The project area for the performance of the wind park "Petrovo" is located in the southeastern
part of R. S. Macedonia and occupies part of the territory of the Municipality of Gevgelija - KO
Petrovo. The wind park will be located in a hilly mountain area with an altitude ranging from 500
m to 650 m.
The following tabular overview provides coordinates of 11 proposed locations for the installation
of wind turbines.

3.3. Climatic characteristics
Municipality of Gevgelija
The openness of the municipality of Gevgelija to the Thessaloniki valley through the Vardar valley
conditions the strong influence of the Mediterranean climate in this region, especially expressed in
the valley part up to 300 m above sea level, and less changed in the hilly area up to
600 m above sea level. Mountain climate prevails only in the highest parts of Kozhuf mountain. The
average annual temperature in Gevgelija is 14.3°C. The average annual amount of precipitation is
745.2 mm3 . The distribution of precipitation is not uniform, it is most abundant in autumn and least
abundant in summer. The most prominent are the Vardarec and Jug winds. Vardarets comes from
the north, and the south from the southeast direction.
3.4. Hydrological characteristics

The territory of the municipality covers part of the basin of the lower reaches of the Vardar River,
which is the most important watercourse that drains surface and underground waters. Larger
watercourses that flow into the Vardar River are the Suva, Konjska, Mrzenska, Kovanska, Zuica,
Petrushka and Javorica rivers. The tributaries of Vardar are relatively shallow, which is why some of
them dry up during the summer. The hydrographic structure also includes the reservoirs in
Bogorodica, Toplec, Dos, Kalica and others. The municipality has rich sources of mineral and thermo-
mineral water. One of the most famous sources of mineral water is located at the Smrdliva voda
tourist site. While there are rich springs of thermo-mineral water near the Negorski spas and near
the village of Smokvica.
The rivers Petrushka and Stara reka pass in the surroundings of the project area.
A hydrogeological map of the area is given in the following picture.

Figure 7 Hydrogeological map of the area
3.5. Relief and geological features

The municipality of Gevgelija covers the Lower Povardarie, that is, the Gevgelija valley, which
stretches from the northern and southern sides of the Macedonian-Greek border.
15
The area is distinguished by areas of hilly plain terrains, which rise up to about 600 m.a.s.l., on
which semi-vial - deluvial and cement brown soils develop, and mountainous area, from 600 -
2000 m.a.s.l., dominated by sour -
brown soils. From a geological point of view, the terrains are built mostly of gabbro and diabase,
and partly of granites and carbonates.
The relief is varied and consists of numerous hills, hills and mounds between which are wide and
shallow valleys that gravitate towards the south. Very interesting is the appearance of three lonely
hills (Dinqut, Mrzenski and Vardarski Rid) whose origin is probably erosive, but possible tectonic
influences are not excluded. These hills give the city of Gevgelija special landscape values and
mark its identity.
3.6. Seismological characteristics

The municipality of Gevgelija belongs to the area of the Vardar zone, which is characterized by
occasional seismic activity. Most of the recorded earthquakes are connected to the Valandovo
seismogenic focus, which is one of the most active seismogenic sources in Macedonia.
The location of the project area is in a region that also belongs to the Vardar region
seismic zone (Serbian-Macedonian massif subzone), which are some of the seismic ones
the most active zones in Macedonia and the Balkans.
According to the seismic scale, the project area belongs to the VIIIº MCS of increased
seismic activity.

3.7. Biological diversity

3.7.1. Flora and fauna in Gevgelija Municipality
Under the influence of the Mediterranean climate in the Municipality of Gevgelija there is a
xerothermal community of the prnar, in which numerous Mediterranean species take part. In
a vertical view, the oak blagun appears above the prnar, and above it the forest is represented
by three belts of beech forests, known as sub-mountain, mountain and sub-alpine, and fir is
also present in them.
In terms of fauna, in the forest areas of Gevgelija you can meet partridge, wild goose and
harrier, pike, quail, black and bearded vulture, griffon vulture, ringed mouse, common kestrel,
imperial eagle, wild boar, rabbit, bear, wolf, fox, chamois, snakes, wild cat, badger and squirrel
The Vardar River has a fish stock of the following types of fish: catfish, carp, barbel, chub and
whiting.
3.8. Natural, cultural and historical heritage
In the Municipality of Gevgelija, more specifically, the Municipality of Petrovo, the church "St.
Spas" - or "Ascension of Christ". The church was built before 1860. But around 1860-1861 it
was burned down, and then -
in 1867, it was restored by the local population. According to his
17
architectural form, the church is three-nave with wooden ceilings, with a semi-circular apse
on the eastern wall and a female section on the western wall. The interior of the temple is
decorated with very beautiful frescoes, painted on the northern and southern walls. The
iconostasis is carved. All icons, which fill the iconostasis, date from the 19th century, with
the names of the donors.
The following pictures show maps of protected areas and cultural heritage in R. S. Macedonia,
in accordance with the data from the National Spatial Plan of R. Macedonia (2002 - 2020)6 .

4. Characteristics of possible impact on the environment
The impacts that will result from the realization of the "Petrovo Wind Park" project will be
considered in the construction and operational phase. They will be the same
assessed against receptors.
In order to evaluate the possible impacts from the implementation of the Project, below is an
overview of the planned activities that will be carried out in the construction and operational
phases.
a) Construction phase
The construction phase includes the preparation of the construction site, i.e. marking and
clearing the terrain, transportation of materials, raw materials, waste and workers, excavation
of foundations and foundation of the pillars, excavation of channels for installation of energy
infrastructure, concreting, transportation and installation of the equipment, final construction
works and clearing of the construction site.
During the construction activities, the following will be generated: fugitive emissions of dust
and exhaust gases in the ambient air from the construction machinery, municipal waste water
from the workers, different fractions of waste, noise and vibrations from the machinery, etc.
Based on the above in the construction phase, negative impacts on air quality, groundwater,
soil, noise, landscape and biological are possible.
variety.
b) Operational phase
The operational phase involves the operation of the wind farms and the production of
electricity. The equipment will be able to work continuously (depending on the dynamics and
parameters of the wind energy), without the continuous presence of employees. Regular and
extraordinary servicing of the wind turbine equipment will be carried out. The competent
companies will regularly maintain the equipment and devices for the transmission of electricity.
Negative impacts in the operational phase can occur in the event of a breakdown/
breakdown of a wind turbine, during which certain fractions of waste may be generated due
to repair of a defect, and the activities may affect the soil and
biological diversity.
c) Post-operative phase
The activities in the post-operational phase are similar to the activities that will be performed
in the construction phase. The post-operational phase covers the period after the end of the
operational life of the wind turbines. This phase includes removing the infrastructure and
rehabilitation/remediation of the site and returning it to its original condition or replacing the
wind turbines with new ones.
22
Based on the above, it cannot be predicted whether actions will be taken to remove the wind
turbines or whether they will be replaced. Impacts will depend on future decommissioning
techniques available at the time of decommissioning, which cannot be predicted as they are
not subject to
consideration.

Below is a more detailed description of the possible impacts on the environment from the
implementation of the project in the construction and operational phases and measures to
mitigate them.
Ambient air
Construction phase: As a result of construction activities (earth excavation, concreting,

access roads, excavation of channels for installation of energy infrastructure, etc.) as well as
the use of construction machinery will be generated
emissions of dust, exhaust gases, etc. which may cause disturbance of ambient air quality as
well as visual disturbance (dust clouds) and deposition of dust in the immediate vicinity of the
site in the form of sediment.
These emissions can cause negative impacts on air quality and

the rest of the media from the environment.
23
The amount of generated dust emissions will depend on the way the activities are performed,
the applied measures of good construction practice, the characteristics of the mechanization,
the duration of the construction activities, meteorological conditions, etc. The emission of
exhaust gases will depend on the composition of the fuel that will be used (gasoline, diesel,
gas), the frequency of movement of machinery and the duration of construction activities.
When diesel fuels are burned, vehicles and other equipment generate gases, known as
greenhouse gases. The sources of greenhouse gas emissions are: vegetation cleaning
equipment, transportation of materials
and improperly disposed organic waste. Sensitive receptors are the biological diversity in the
area and the performers of the activities.
The impacts on ambient air quality, which originate from the listed emissions, at this stage,
are evaluated as negative, direct, of low intensity, short-term, reversible, with a certain
probability of occurrence, and of a local character.
Measures to reduce impacts: application of good construction practice, water spraying with
the help of tankers on access roads and in locations where they will be carried out
excavations, use of high-quality fuels, regular control of construction machinery, turning off
the engines of machinery and vehicles when they are not in use
movement or do not perform any activity.
Operational phase: In this phase, the generation of emissions in the ambient air is not
expected, with the exception of the occurrence of defects and breakdowns in which there is a
need to use machinery.
Impact reduction measures: In the event of a breakdown or breakdown, it is recommended
to apply the impact reduction measures specified for the construction phase.
Noise and vibration
Construction phase: as a result of the use of construction machinery and construction

activities (construction of the wind farm, excavation of materials, transport of construction
material, waste and workers, construction of access roads) increased levels of noise and
vibration will be generated. Since there are no other sensitive receptors in the environment,
the noise and vibrations that will be generated in the construction site
phase will affect site workers and animals in the surrounding area. The impacts will be on the
construction site itself and on the roads where the transport will be carried out, and will be
limited in time while the activity lasts.
Noise and vibration impacts, at this stage, are evaluated as negative, direct, of low intensity,
short-term, reversible, with a certain probability of occurrence, and of a local character.
Measures to reduce impacts: it is recommended to apply good construction practice, use

modern construction equipment and mechanization, turn off engines
24
of machinery and vehicles when they are in the so-called "empty of" i.e. not in
operability.
Operational phase: In this phase, the generation of noise emissions from the operation of the
wind turbines is expected, as well as in cases of regular service and/or occurrence of defects
and breakdowns in which there is a need to use mechanization. The expected increased noise
level is due to the fact that the wind turbines themselves generate
noise of about 100 dB, which decreases with increasing distance. Since there are no
settlements in the immediate vicinity of the project area, sensitive receptors are the biological
diversity in the immediate surroundings of the area.
Noise impacts during the operational phase are assessed as insignificant.
Measures to reduce impacts: Application and installation of turbines that produce low levels
of noise or the so-called "quiet turbines". In the event of a breakdown or breakdown, it is
recommended to apply the measures to reduce the impacts specified for the construction
phase.
Lead
Construction and operational phase:
Impacts on surface and underground water are not expected either in the construction or in
the operational phase, if one takes into account the location of the locations where the wind
turbines will be installed and the depth of the excavations for laying the foundations and
channels for laying the energy infrastructure, as well as the fact that there is no surface flow in
the immediate vicinity of the location, it can be considered that minimal indirect impacts are
possible only on groundwater, which would eventually appear as a result of incident situations.
The generation of sanitary waste water during the construction phase by the hired workers is
also expected. Adequate measures are foreseen for these impacts.
The impacts on surface and underground waters in the construction and operational phase
are evaluated as negative, indirect, of low intensity, short-term, reversible, with a possible
probability of occurrence, of a local character.
Measures to reduce impacts: Application of good construction practice, application of

measures to reduce impacts on media in the environment and installation of mobile toilets
during the construction phase which will be maintained by an authorized company.
Soils
Construction phase: Impacts on the quality of the soil are expected during the performance
of geotechnical investigations of the stability of the substrate, excavations and leveling of the
terrain, the construction of internal access roads, manipulation of the mechanization. As a
result of the above activities, there is a possibility of erosion, compaction of the soil, reduction
of its fertility,
25
pollution etc. Soil pollution can also occur as a result of inadequate management of waste
fractions, accidental leakage of oils and fuel from machinery, etc.
The impacts on the soil during the construction phase are assessed as reliable, negative,
direct, with low to moderate intensity, short-term, reversible and irreversible, of a local
character.
Measures to reduce the impacts: It is recommended to apply good construction practice,

geomechanical tests of the soil on the site, treatment of the contaminated soil as hazardous
waste, placement of absorption material (clean sand) during the construction phase, etc.
Operational phase: No emissions to soil are expected during this phase.
Biological diversity
Construction phase:
In order to determine the impacts of the project on biological diversity, an extensive research
and monitoring of the existing condition of the flora and fauna of the site in question will be
carried out and mitigation measures will be proposed for all phases of the project. The project
area and the wider surroundings are not characterized by vegetation that is of particular
importance and therefore there is no need for a special value for protection. The removal of
vegetation can cause erosion in places where construction activities will be carried out. The
use of construction machinery will generate a high level of noise, the generated hazardous
waste and the incidental spills of hazardous materials and substances may cause negative
impacts on animal species in the project area.
The impacts on biological diversity in the construction and operational phase are assessed as
possible, local, negative, of medium intensity and duration determined by the duration
of the construction works and the operation of the wind turbines.
Measures to reduce impacts: application of good construction practice, application of

measures to reduce impacts in the media and areas of life
environment, limitation of construction activities only within the limits of the planned area,
compensation of removed vegetation by planting vegetation with species characteristic of that
area.
Operational phase:
The current operation of the Petrovo wind farm will have an impact on the birds present on
the site and possibly bats if identified during the monitoring phase. At this stage, it is not
possible to precisely determine the size and degree of impact, but based on several studies
done on this type of construction, the impact on birds is assessed as minor. No impacts on
the flora and other fauna are expected during the operational phase.
26
Measures to reduce impacts: after monitoring and impact assessment, a set of measures
will be proposed in the environmental impact assessment study in order to mitigate and/or
avoid negative impacts.
Area
Landscape and visual impacts during construction work are mainly related to
construction activities, the presence of vehicles, waste storage, etc., while in the operational
phase the visual impacts are mainly due to the installed wind turbines. The implementation of
the project will have an impact on the landscape and the visual environment because the
wind turbines are high construction buildings (110 m), placed at a higher altitude (500 – 650
m above sea level), and they will be visible from great distances.
The impacts on the landscape in the construction and operational phase are evaluated as
negative, direct, irreversible, with high intensity, with a certain probability of occurrence,
of a local character.
Measures to reduce impacts: Restoration of the area after the completion of construction
activities and application of good construction practice. Restoration of the landscape and its
remediation after the end of the use of the wind turbines
Waste
During the construction phase, different fractions of waste will be generated, which will mainly
represents construction waste, packaging waste, municipal waste, waste from removed
vegetation, hazardous waste, etc.
In the operational phase, waste will be generated in the event of the repair of a breakdown of
the wind turbines, whereby waste from electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), packaging
waste, etc. will be generated.
The contractor is obliged to act according to the legal regulations for this type of waste.
Improper waste management can cause negative impacts on media quality and environmental
areas.
The impacts of the waste in the construction and operational phase are evaluated as
negative, direct, of low intensity, will appear immediately, reversible, with a certain
probability of occurrence, and of a local character.
Measures to reduce impacts: As measures to reduce impacts, it is recommended to comply

with the legal obligations for the selection and proper management of all fractions of generated
waste, signing contracts with authorized companies for taking over and further dealing with
the various fractions of waste, applying good
waste management practices, etc.
27
Cultural heritage
Construction phase: Construction activities may cause negative impacts

on possible undiscovered localities that have cultural heritage.
The impacts on possible undiscovered cultural heritage sites in the construction phase are evaluated as negative,
direct, irreversible, with a possible probability of occurrence, of national importance.
Measures to reduce impacts: To establish communication with the Ministry of Culture, to undertake activities of
education of workers and
fig.
Operational phase: No impacts are expected in the operational phase.
Risk of accidents and incidents
Construction and operational phase: The potential risks and dangers associated with the project in the
construction phase are: risk of natural disasters, risk of leakage of dangerous substances (in the construction phase
and during the repair of a defect in the operational phase), risk of fire, risk of breakdown of wind turbines and energy
supply that may cause negative impacts on
environmental media, etc.
Impacts are evaluated as possible, negative, reversible, of low intensity and from
local character
Mitigation measures: Preparing emergency management procedures for a wide range of situations. An emergency
management plan should also be drawn up to identify emergency conditions that could lead to the breakdown of the
wind farm and provide for emergency measures to prevent
the possible incidents.
Population and population health
Construction and operational phase: Based on the fact that the nearest settlements are located at an aerial
distance of 800 m to 2,300 m, the impacts on the population and the health of the population in the construction and
operational phase are assessed as negative, no impact.
