Cloudberry Clean Energy Annual report 2020

47 Cloudberry Annual report 2020 Sustainability Way forward The construction of power plants causes unfor- tunate, but unavoidable, negative environmental consequences. Cloudberry will always strive to find mitigating measures where appropriate. Through good systems for monitoring and reporting, mediat- ing measures can be implemented. At the Marker wind farm, the regular inspection is instructed to map possible alien species (plants) that might have been brought into the area during the construction work. We will prepare such a report during the summer of 2021, and it will specify any possible need of remedial actions to be taken. Cloudberry is also developing shallow water offshore wind power projects in the Baltic Sea. In addition, Cloudberry has a large portfolio of promising pro- jects and has developed offshore wind power for more than 10 years. Cloudberry has entered into a collaboration on construction of offshore wind power in Lake Vänern in Sweden. The detailed planning is progressing and includes environmental issues and requirements as described in the permit. For example, the company consults the Swedish Maritime Administration and the Swedish Transport Agency about necessary pro- tective measures, and they are kept up to date on the progress. The procurement process started early 2021 and will reach a financial investment decision (FID) during 2021. For all our projects our focus will be maintained on conducting through environmental mapping and analysis in the early stages of development. It is also imperative to have good cooperation with the host municipality and other affected stakeholders, as well as ensuring transparency and involvement from Cloudberry.
