The Government of Navarra denies authorization to the photovoltaic polygons of Adios and Muruzabal

  • Solaria, a company that intended to build the two polygons south of the mountain range of the Forgiveness of Navarra, has been denied by the Department of Spatial Planning, Housing, Landscape and Strategic Projects of Navarra.

The Department of Spatial Planning has given a number of reasons for rejecting projects, mainly those relating to the large size of polygons and their possible impact on the environment and neighbouring populations.

In recent efforts made by Solaria to carry out the projects, he proposed reducing the polygons to 123 hectares, but the reduction for the department is not enough to make the landscape impact that can cause the environment acceptable, as it exceeds 10% of the seeable land of Adios.

According to the Department, these lands are classified as high agricultural production and polygons reduce their agricultural use. All this can influence the future development of the peoples in which the polygons are based.

In essence, the polygons are too large for the valley, too close to Adios and Muruzábal, which has been a major social rejection. These two localities were the most affected, but the polygons also affected Eneritz, Ukar, Biurrun-Olcoz and Tebas-Muruarte de Artedorta.

Likewise, according to the resolution of July 6, the electric power evacuation network of the polygons does not coincide with the Municipal Planning of Muruarte de Reta. According to this, licences have been granted in the municipality for TAV infrastructure but not for other infrastructure.

At first, the PV project envisaged the occupation of 300 hectares, which caused a great stir in the village of Adios. The Save the Forgiveness 4.0 platform has been present since the project was known. In the Txikizio report on behalf of the sun and wind we analyzed how the people lived the prediction of the projects.

Solaria Solar 2 about to decide

However, much remains to be done. This affects Barasoain, Oloritz, Unzué and Tebas-Muruarte de Artederre. However, it could be thought that many of the current arguments of the Foral Government can also serve in this case.
