A unanimous city council on Langeland has voted no to proceed with plans for the Hjortholm Energy Park, which would consist of eight wind turbines of up to 200 meters and a 120-hectare solar park. This is reported by Fyens Stiftstidende.
The project was initiated by the Randers company Wind Estate in collaboration with Hjortholm Gods and Frederiksberg Herregård. The energy park could have supplied electricity to around 75,600 households.
The decision was made after political concerns arose that a local commitment to a state screening could not be withdrawn.
- Information has subsequently emerged that commitments cannot be withdrawn, said city council member Ulrik Pihl (SF), who explained that this caused both SF and the Social Democrats to change their positions.
Opposition to the project has been massive among local citizens. 348 had signed against the plans, and several showed up to the city council meeting to hand in their protests.
