Dzhankeldy Wind Power Project

ATES
 
Invertebrate surveying was undertaken in Spring 2021, which is the optimal time as invertebrate 
populations are at a peak due to the increase in available vegetation.

The recorded entomofauna was typical for this area. No species listed in the Red Book of 
Uzbekistan or IUCN Red List were found.

Receptors 
7.2.1 
Area of Influence 
The area of influence is the area within which project activities may affect receptors. As 
different aspects carry differing spatial extents, the AoI varies considerably. The paragraphs 
below provide the AoI that was considered for each type of predicted potential impact.
The area of influence for Habitat Loss impacts is inclusive of the full project construction and 
operation footprint, including associated facilities, laydown areas, and any existing or new 
roads utilized for incoming and outbound transport.

The area of influence for Direct Mortality impacts is inclusive of the full project construction and 
operation footprint, including associated facilities, laydown areas, and any existing or new 
roads utilized for incoming and outbound transport, as well as the airspace of the wind farm 
and OHTL corridor.
The area of influence for Habitat Degradation impacts extends beyond the footprint of the 
project inclusive of a 1km buffer, to account for the phenomenon of edge effect.
The area of influence for Habitat Fragmentation and Disturbance impacts extends beyond the 
footprint of the project inclusive of a 5 km buffer, to account for the phenomenon of barrier 
effect. The area of influence for Displacement impacts extends beyond the footprint of the 
project inclusive of a 100km buffer, to account for the secondary impacts of displaced wildlife 
into adjacent territories. 
The area of influence for Introduced Species / Proliferation of Species impacts extends beyond 
the footprint of the project inclusive of a 100km buffer, to account for (1) potential major 
invasive spread and (2) secondary impacts caused by displacement of less competitive fauna 
into adjacent areas.
7.2.2 
Sensitive Receptors 
The following overview table groups the conservation value of ecological receptors that may 
be impacted by project works. It includes species registered during the surveys as well as 
sensitive species that are anticipated to possibly occur within the AoI.
