The Tallinn office of Walless has advised the Laane-Nigula municipality of Estonia on termination of preparatory work on a special plan and environmental assessment for a EUR 150 million wind farm construction project planned by Enefit Green.
According to Walless, Enefit Green is a subsidiary of Eesti Energia, which has bought about 240 hectares of land in the area between the communities of Risti-Piirsalu and Seljakula, where it planned to build 30 wind turbines.
Walless reported that the termination came after the local residents submitted more than 1000 signatures in protest of the wind farm’s construction. The firm reported that Enefit Green intends to challenge the decision either by appealing directly to the municipality or in court.
The Walless team consisted of Managing Partner Piret Kergandberg and Associate Siim Vahtru.
