two.2.4) Description of the procurement
There are several wind farms proposed in the vicinity of Inverness Airport, at various stages of development, which have the potential to impact adversely on the Airport’s Primary Surveillance Radar. HIAL is liaising closely with the Planning Authority but must submit objections where necessary to those developments until a suitable mitigation scheme is in place.
HIAL and the Scottish Government have strategic aims towards environmental benefits, which include supporting renewable energy. To allow wind farm developments to progress, HIAL wishes to implement a Technical Solution which has already been proven and is operational at other UK airports to mitigate interference.
A solution is sought for a proven windfarm mitigation capability that shall be scalable through configuration, optimisation and performance validation to mitigate the development of individual windfarms that are evaluated as having an impact on the Inverness Airport ATS performance.
