Update on the latest developments

With the recent decision 159-165/2024, the Council of State rejected the appeals of the Associations and Municipalities of Evia for the cancellation of the wind turbines of the Ellactor company in Central Evia (51 wind turbines) and Styra - Niborio (32 wind turbines). It is the second time that the Council of State does not justify the residents of Evia who are trying to protect the environment and their lives by legal means from the over-concentration of wind turbine in the mountains and now near the settlements.

Project of the DMX company - Removal of 9 wind turbines within Natura - Removal of the entire wind farm in the DISTRATA position

Image

A BIG WIN ✌️✌️✌️
A great victory of all those who struggle in Southern Karystia against inactivity and despair.
We achieved with great struggle the removal of the entire wind farm at the DISTRATA position, 3 wind turbines at the PLATANOS position and one wind turbine at the LIAPOURTHI position.
With optimism, we are proceeding with the abolition of all the DMX projects that concerns wind farms in the locations of RIZA, TRIKORFO, PLATANOS, LIAPOURTHI, AGIOS APOSTOLI and AGIOS TAXIARCHES of the Municipality of Karystos.

Updated wind-power-stations, Febr. 2023

Image

We share the total wind-power-station permits in the Municipality of Karystos according to the latest data from RAE. The general trend is an increase in wind turbines:

From 429 wind turbines in operation in Jan. 2023 we have 435 wind turbines in Feb. 2023.
Production licenses have also increased, we assume because some evaluation licenses have been converted to production licenses. However, installation permits have been slightly reduced. The general total remains approximately the same: 800 wind turbines.

What does wind turbine noise and photoshading mean?

We are sharing two videos taken by a resident of Petria (TN: S. Evia island) where the air conditioners are located close to houses.

https://youtu.be/Xl7QZklE5jQ : About the noise
https://youtu.be/oIJ6HNACFIM : About the stroboscopic effect.

As wind turbine installations multiply in South Evia and even come close to houses, it is certain that all settlements will have the same problem as Petries.
