Renewable CyL: environmental sensitivity MUP

Environmental sensitivity to the installation of wind farms and photovoltaic plants in mountains of public utility (MUP) of Castilla y León.

Both Law 43/2003, of 21 November, of Montes, national, and the regional Law 3/2009, of 6 April, on mountains of Castilla y León establish a protection regime for mountains of public utility. According to this scheme, only those activities compatible with the reasons that promoted the declaration of public utility of these mountains are permissible and, in any case, compatible with the persistence of the natural values of the mountain.

In this sense, there is a different position regarding the two types of installations: while the massive occupation of the territory by photovoltaic plants makes it difficult to reconcile their installation with the persistence of the values that led to the declaration of public utility of the mountain, the installation of wind farms in areas cleared of the mountains of UP, which do not maintain other values (for example the existence of certain habitats or the location of species of interest) and which, in any case, should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, can be compatible with the demaniality of the mountain.

* The submission of this information does not replace the relevant procedures for assessing the environmental impact of projects or prejudge the results of the corresponding environmental impact statements, since they are offered only to facilitate an early assessment from the early stages of the definition of a potential renewable energy project on the condition to a particular space with high environmental sensitivity.

卡斯蒂利亚-莱昂（Castilla y León）公用山地（Mountains of Public Utility, MUP）内风电场与光伏电站建设的环境敏感性

西班牙国家《2003年11月21日山地法》（第43/2003号）与卡斯蒂利亚-莱昂自治区《2009年4月6日山地法案》（第3/2009号）均确立了公用山地的保护制度。根据该制度，仅符合该山地被宣告为公用山地之设立初衷的活动方可获准开展，且无论如何均需与该山地自然价值的存续相兼容。

就此而言，针对两类设施的建设存在不同立场：光伏电站对区域的大规模占用，使其建设难以与该山地被宣告为公用山地所依托的价值存续相兼容；而在已清理的公用山地区域内建设风电场，若该区域无其他保护价值（例如特定生境或保护物种分布），且无论如何均需逐案评估，则可与该山地的公用属性相兼容。
