Denounce the possibility of 20 new photovoltaic and wind infrastructures in Ayala
- The Renewable Energy Sector Plan includes several projects in Ayala, Orduña, Amurrio and Okondo. In the town of Ayala there are 16 photovoltaic projects. In view of the damage it may cause, Aiaraldeko Mendia Bizirik has called for recourse.
The Aiaraldeko Mendia Bizirik platform has declared the project a "nonsense". Aiaraldea took up the words of the group: “There has been no information to the citizens, it has been carried out at the centre of the changes of the municipal government team and the urban regulations are not being respected. Because a Sectoral Plan has less hierarchical value than a Partial Territorial Plan in the Administration and an attempt is being made to put the Sectoral Plan above all standards,” they point out.
The final day for recourse to the initial approval of the Renewable Energy Sector Plan is 24 July and Ayala is preparing the resources for the project to be halted. Several Ayala agents are active. The new plan gives private companies full freedom to build photovoltaic and wind infrastructures on thousands of hectares.
The platform has opened several avenues: a popular resource is being promoted, more technical resources are being prepared and a number of municipalities have been talked about whether they are going to appeal, Laudio, Orozko and Ayala say yes and believe that Amurrio will do so too.
Call for concentration on the submission dates
The resources received at the CAPV on 20 July will be transferred to the Basque Government and on the same day they have been summoned to the headquarters of the Basque Government in Vitoria-Gasteiz.
