The case summarized: On Monday, the inhabitants of Modalen will vote on whether they want to build what can be Norway’s largest wind power plant. The population is divided, with 19 landowners who welcome the wind farm. Almost 70 percent have already voted in advance. Norwegian wind plans to build around 100 wind turbines of 220 meters in the Modalen. The turbines will not be visible in the center of Mo. The inhabitants are lured with a new tunnel, fifteen new jobs, cheaper electricity and NOK 100 million each year in revenues for ten years. Critics believe that the wind turbines will destroy the mountain area, which is a popular recreation area and home for many endangered animal species. The referendum is advisory, and the matter will be dealt with by the municipal council on April 10. The summary is made by a Ki service from Openai. The content is quality assured by news’s \u200b\u200bjournalists before publishing. – I don’t feel good. There is a lot that is at stake, says Gunnhild Steinsland on his way into the polling station on Monday afternoon. The inhabitants of the Modalen are divided. On the one hand, 19 landowners, who welcome the wind power plant. What the rest of the population thinks will soon be revealed. – On the one hand, the municipality can get better finances, but money is not everything. I find it difficult to help the mountain being destroyed, says Steinsland. – Many people do not say what they already think has almost 70 percent of the models pre -voted. On Monday it will all be decided. The polling stations are open from 2 p.m. 13 until 10 p.m. 17. – It is tense atmosphere. But we talk together and greet each other, even though it blows fresh in between, says Deputy Mayor Sigrunn Almelid Birkeland from the Solenningslista in Modalen municipality. – We are excited about what the population really thinks about this here. There are some who talk and many who do not say what they mean, says Birkeland. Mayor Linda Neset is the landowner herself and therefore incompetent in the case. The DNT cabin Skavlabu will be surrounded by wind turbines, if 100 wind turbines are to be set up in the Modals Mountains in Vestland.

Here we have the Modalsfjellene and St\u00f8lsheimen. And then there are many endangered animal species that live in the area. She believes that the big joker is how much noise will actually come from the wind turbines. And how far the sound will carry. – There is an tense mood before the vote, says Deputy Mayor Sigrunn Almelid Birkeland (Solenningslista) in Modalen municipality.

The wind turbines will be built in an area of \u200b\u200b55 km\u00b2. A wind turbine can produce 21 GWh per year. This amounts to 21 million kilowatt hours. Will build 100 wind turbines Norwegian wind will build around 100 wind turbines, every 220 meters high, in the Modalen. The wind turbines will be built up in the high mountains, between 700 and 1200 meters above sea level, and will not be visible in the center of Mo. According to the power company, the nearest house will be 1.5 kilometers away from the wind turbines. The popular self-service DNT cabin Skavlabu is within the plan area. The area around the cabin is frequently used for hunting and fishing. The inhabitants are lured with this: New tunnel of five kilometers from the castle to Mo Fifteen new jobs cheaper electricity NOK 100 million each year in revenue for ten years – we look forward to the result of the advisory referendum. Here, the inhabitants of Modalen will be said, and we understand that the municipal council will then treat our plan initiative relatively quickly, says Per Ove Skorpen, general manager of Norwegian wind. The involvement of the case has been violent, also from the neighboring municipalities and others who are happy in Modalsfjella and St\u00f8lsheimen. Last weekend, around 300 people gathered for a meeting at the Bryggjslottet at Mo, organized by other people for Fjella, the Norwegian Environmental Protection Association and Headwind Norway. Mo is the municipal center in Modalen. Idyllic Mobryggja is a well -known view of many tourists who come here with a speedboat from Bergen. Photo: Roy Hilmar Svendsen \/ news The neighboring municipalities Alver and Masfjorden are also affected and have already said no. According to BT, Norwegian winds have made it clear that a no in the Modalen will also cause the company to shred the plans. The Modalen municipality in Vestland is Norway’s second smallest municipality. Now Norwegian wind will build around 100 wind turbines in the Modals Mountains. Allows the 16-year-olds to vote Lille Modalen is a purely political other. The municipality does not have traditional parties, but two local electoral lists: Solenningslista and collection list. The list top for the collection list ahead of the previous election, Kristin N\u00e5mdal, says there was broad agreement ahead of the election that the population had to make their opinion in the inflamed question. – This case concerns absolutely everyone. That’s why we made the choice if the 16-year-olds also have to vote. After all, they are the ones who are going to live here, and we think it is incredibly important that they get their opinion, says N\u00e5mdal to news. She herself thinks Monday’s choice will be very smooth. She doesn’t dare predict which side gets a majority when the votes are counted on Monday night. – But I do not want wind power development and have therefore already voted no, she says. In this way, the sound of the wind turbines will affect the surrounding area, according to Norwegian wind. Red and brown show the areas with the most noise, yellow and green areas with the least noise. Photo: Norwegian wind No one wants to go in an industrial area Information manager Andr\u00e9 Marton Pedersen in Bergen and Hordaland Turlag believe that the wind turbines will demolish the entire mountain area. There are many tourist cabins and miles of trails in the area, which will no longer be used on the project of the day. – Who wants to walk in an industrial area? This mountain area is so unique that we must take care of it for our future generations, he says. Gunnhild Steinsland is surprised at how much feelings are in the swing of the case, and how split the village is. – It will take time to heal the wounds, no matter what the outcome will be. The referendum is an advisory vote. The matter will be dealt with by the municipal council on April 10. Gunnhild Steinsland on his way into the polling station in Modalen on Monday.
