Mulgi Council halts the wind farm project. Developers did not agree to reduce power. Over 1,600 people signed petitions opposing the wind farms.
Mayor of Mulgi, Dmitri Orav, states that the limit is set at 70 megawatts, which supports green energy.
Council chair Imre Jugomäe notes that while the state set goals, it failed to inform local residents.
Not all council members supported the decision. Taimo Tugi argues that halting the plan is illegal.
Mihkel Kalda emphasizes that economic and industrial growth must go hand in hand. Without new projects, the economy cannot grow.
The developer Utilitas Wind claims that stopping the plan is illegal and seeks to discuss possible solutions.
The Climate Ministry reports that wind farm planning has been halted in some areas but continues in others.
