Eggesin says no to wind power: citizens and committee against wind turbines!
in Eggesin, a city in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, a current decision is caused by the upset: The Committee on Building and Urban Development, Economy, Transport and the Environment has unanimously made a fundamental decision that positions itself against the construction of wind turbines in the city area. This is reported by the Nordkurier . The citizens and the city representatives are obviously against the planned wind turbines, which the chairwoman of the committee, Bärbel Baumgarten, underpinned with the following words: "The topic has already caused excitement."
The decision stipulates that the city of Eggesin has no support for priority areas for wind power use. This also excludes that the municipality actively takes measures or initiatives to determine such areas. The municipalities therefore have the crucial task of assessing which areas for wind turbines can be shown in their land use planning as part of the regional planning.
wind farm plans and residents' concerns
A wind turbine, Alterric, plans to build a wind farm with wind turbines that are said to be up to 250 meters high and are to be built on agricultural areas of 76 hectares. According to the residents published by Nordkurier that some of these wind turbines could be less than 1000 meters from residential areas. This increases the efforts of the city not to support wind power projects in their own area and to position themselves against such wind turbines.
The final decision of the city council will be taken on July 3, 2025, and until then the social committee will be advised again. In the region, however, there are also clear guidelines of politics and administration how these decisions have to be made. The state planning authorities and bodies of public law create detailed regional plans that also affect flood protection, agriculture and wind energy. to support harmonious expansion of wind energy as part of the energy transition.
