Preem refinery in Lysekil
Application for Preem Lysekil submitted
An application has now been submitted to the Environmental Testing Delegation in Västra Götaland County.
In total, VindIn plans to build seven wind turbines in the area, four on land owned by Preem AB, and three on nearby land with other owners. All the works are planned to be laid on elevation areas in the area, between 40 and 70 m above ground and will mainly be built directly on rock. The planned land use in the area in question is heavy industry and other industries with an environmental impact, as well as protection zones for these.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT
Download the environmental impact statement
The environmental impact statement describes:
• Presence of ancient remains.
• Description of the natural environment in the area around works and roads; with inventory
of the presence of different bird species and soil flora, as well as the evaluation of the conditions in and around the ponds.
• Estimated sound levels
• Estimated shadow frequencies
• Photo montage has been made to visualize the planned works in the surroundings.
The assessment is that the planned wind turbines should be able to be installed and operated without damaging ancient remains or protective values. The planned wind turbines will be the sound level 40 dB (A) for all properties.
Shadow frequencies in addition to what can be considered acceptable will be counteracted by controlling the operation of the works.
