The government has denied environmental authorization to the Piaspe wind project
The Department of Industry, Energy Transition and Sustainability of the Basque Government has rejected the project of the wind farm planned by the company Statkraft between Azpeitia, Zestoa and Errezil. The report concludes that the mills and energy infrastructures that were to be built in the area of the mountain would cause environmental damage.
There has been a new movement around wind farms at the last minute, as the Government has rejected the Statkraft wind farm project between Azpeitia, Zestoa and Errezil. The report has ruled that the mills and energy infrastructure that were to be built in the area of the mountain would damage the environment and rejected the project.
With the negative environmental impact report, the project is not viable. The Department of Industry, Energy Transition and Sustainability oftheBasque Government has decided that the areas where wind turbines are to be installed have "environmental sensitivity"as an essential area for the reproduction of birds and has little capacity for wind exploitation.
The City Council approves the resolution
Statkraft's intentions caused controversy from the beginning, and the three municipalities, Azpeitia, Zestoa, and Errezil, have opposed the structure, and all three have filed allegations against the project.
Once the decision has been known, the municipalities of Azpeitia, Zestoa and Errezil have issued a joint note approving the resolution.
They explain that from the outset they have proclaimed the need for all energy projects to meet three requirements: guarantees of environmental protection and the preservation of ecosystems; control of public administration and citizen participation, thereby guaranteeing the possibility of community-property; and allocating the energy generated to the satisfaction of local energy consumption in order to promote the self-sufficiency and social benefit of the territory.
Thus, he points out that given the environmental damage that the project would cause, the first condition is not met.
Statkraft's plans in central Urola have been dusty from the very beginning, and there have been many protests against the project. The City Council held an explanatory meeting of the project at the Soreasu theatre, which created a great deal of expectation . For the time being, they will not continue with the infrastructure.
