Today WIMBY starts with an exciting and interactive week on the island of Pantelleria (Italy), where we are kicking off dedicated workshops to explore wind energy! Over the next five days, the local community and all interested individuals are invited to join us in learning more about wind energy deployment and experience firsthand our innovative 3D VR game.
This immersive game allows participants to explore wind farm planning in a fun and engaging way, visualising turbine placements and understanding the intricacies of wind energy. It aims to:
- Evaluate potential zones for wind farm installations while considering environmental, societal, and economic impacts.
- Develop a conceptual plan for the size and locations of wind turbines that suit Pantelleria.
- Explore strategies for achieving energy autonomy on the island through the use of renewable energy.
- Foster dialogue and collaboration among stakeholders to support the sustainable growth of wind energy in Pantelleria.
The discussions and activities are centered around evaluating potential “go/no-go” zones for wind farms, ensuring that we consider ecological, economic, and societal factors.
With a focus on community involvement, these workshops are a great opportunity for stakeholders to come and interact with the technology, offering their opinions on how wind energy can be integrated into the local landscape. The local input is fundamental to fostering collaboration and empowerment within the community, helping us reach sustainable energy goals together.
