Hi
@EPPGroup
, would you mind elaborating on why you think these two wind farms would have to be shut down? On which grounds? We have spoken to some experts and we don't see why this would be the case.
Do drop us a 📩PM !

Law is nonsense.
🇳🇱 Look at the Netherlands.
No new infrastructure, no new housing projects and a severe setback for renewable energies.
We all want to protect nature but we must do it with policies that work on the ground.
