Noise studies for renewable energy projects
Wind farms, solar plants, substations and transmission lines. We developed South America’s first wind-farm noise study for the Ministry of the Environment — the same methodology used to assess wind-turbine noise in Chile today.
When you need us
- Wind farms: noise and shadow flicker
- Photovoltaic and concentrated solar plants
- Electrical substations and transmission lines
- SEIA submission and updates
- Responding to SEA observations on the acoustic component
Applicable regulations
D.S. N°38/2011 and the new D.S. N°14/2024 — which introduces a dedicated methodology for wind farms (characterization by L90 percentile and continuous monitoring) — along with the SEA guidelines and shadow-flicker assessment.
Our services for this sector
- Wind farm noise and shadow flicker studies
- Environmental impact and vibration studies for the SEIA
- Environmental noise control engineering
- D.S. N°38/11 compliance assessment
Is your wind farm entering the SEIA in the next two years? See how it’s affected by the new D.S. N°14/2024.
Why Acústica Austral
We work with the country’s leading power generators — Enel, Engie, Colbún, Statkraft, Mainstream, AES and Transelec — and authored the national methodology used to assess wind-turbine noise today. A single team of Acoustic Civil Engineers, with no subcontracted stages.
