Lithuanian company Ignitis wants to build a wind farm in Pärnu. The park would be small. The city does not want it. The council must decide.
Initially, Ignitis wanted to build two wind farms. One would be in Tõstamaa, the other near Jõõpre. But now they only want one park near Jõõpre.
Tõstamaa is not suitable for a wind farm. There are many birds there. The turbines could harm them. Also, it would be expensive there.
Near Jõõpre, there would be up to 11 turbines. Many people live there. Many residents do not want the wind farm.
The city of Pärnu does not want the wind farm. The turbines would be close to residents. People would receive little money. This does not motivate them.
The council must decide in April or May. Ignitis is waiting for the decision. If the council does not agree, Ignitis will not build the wind farm.
