Deal #9094

Public hearings were conducted on 15.02.2019 in Zhanatas central library.

The acquisition was the district council responsibility and the Company took no part in it. As a result, seven farmers affected by land acquisition signed the agreement to give up small parts of the land they leased form the State without clear understanding of what the acquisition was made for. The minutes of the meetings with the farmers have been prepared but the meetings have not been conducted and the minutes have not been signed. Interviews with 4 farmers showed that one of them remembers signing some land acquisition agreement and only two heard about the windfarm construction plans. None of the 7 farmers were compensated for the land transfer with land or cash.

Total destruction of vegetation and partial destruction of soil is expected on up to 71.7ha (or 30% of the leased area)
