AIA Screening Request for Small-Scale PV Production Units — Algarve
AIA screening request technical note for small-scale PV production units in the Algarve.
StartSimple prepared a Technical Note requesting screening under the Environmental Impact Assessment (AIA) Procedure for small-scale solar Production Units (UPPs) in the Algarve, aiming to determine, under the AIA Legal Regime, whether the project required a full procedure or could benefit from simplified screening. The study included characterisation of the project and its technical solutions, analysis of the implementation area, compatibility with territorial planning instruments, and the presence of any environmentally sensitive areas.
Suitable mitigation measures were also presented, helping speed up the decision by the competent authorities and ensuring legal certainty for the developer.
