Comment on negative impacts for local communities
On the start-up phase, there was a critique from ecologists, that several windmills are located on the migratory route of birds. As a result, the project has been adjusted: two turbines have been removed so that the birds can move freely. Five more windmills will move away from the reeds used by the birds. But still, the operating project manager, responsible for environmental protection, admits that the negative impact is possible, it is primarily related to construction - potential water or territory pollution, disturbance of animals due to noise, lighting, and movement of equipment and people.
