Residents determined to block a huge wind power park in Hiiumaa
05.01.2009, 11:37
Residents of the Hiiumaa island are collecting signatures against plans to build one of Europe’s largest wind power parks on the island.

Eesti Päevaleht writes with reference to a TV3 news programme that the wind power park which is being developed by a Canadian corporation would have 250 wind generators and export all its power to Sweden.

“We the islanders are usually very tolerant and don’t go easily along with campaigns, but this time it is our homes that are being targeted. If these wind generators are erected, it would spoil the local nature to the extent that it could not be restored. People are very active,” said Kristi Ugam, the initiator of the signature campaign.
