Lilienthal is planning wind power project: Focus on environmental impact!
St. Jürgensland, Deutschland - The Lilienthal municipal council has decided to use wind energy in St. Jürgensland. This was announced on May 29, 2025. The administration is commissioned, contact with the investors Baywa Re. and to record swion. Their goal is to clarify whether they will cover the costs for a specialist report on environmental compatibility. In the event of positive feedback, the municipality can commission the report and thus initiate the next step in the implementation of the project, such as the Weser-Kurier
A central concern of the municipality is to apply for a target deviation procedure in the district if significant negative effects on nature and wildlife can be excluded. While the mayor Kim Fürw defines emphasizes the need for an objective investigation by the St. Jürgensland, the district is skeptical. He did not take into account the planned areas due to its high importance for nature and especially for bird world in the regional spatial planning program (RROP).
supporter and critic
The mayor's proposal was given a broad support in the municipal council with 20 votes in favor, 4 votes against and 1 abstention. However, there are different opinions about this project. Proponents such as Rainer for a second of the council group "Together for Lilienthal", the possibility of windwheel construction, including Andreas Strassemeier from the Left and Kurt Klepsch from the SPD, support the assessment of the district.
The district's decision remains unchanged even after the viewing of around 150 statements. So far, there has been no concrete report on the environmental and natural effects in St. Jürgensland. However, this could change if appropriate approval procedures should be promoted in the future. The district has time until the end of 2027 to make the partial program of the RROP legally binding. In the long term, delays in the process could also lead to the construction of wind turbines in the entire district.
nature conservation and wind energy
In the context of the use of wind energy, the protection of nature and wildlife is of the greatest importance. The BMU emphasizes that both ecological and social aspects must be taken into account when planning and implementing wind energy projects. A thorough analysis with regard to birds and other species worth protecting is essential to protect the balance between renewable energy sources and nature conservation.
In summary, it can be said that the project in St. Jürgensland is not only an opportunity for wind energy in Lilienthal, but also indicates the challenges that must be mastered in the context of nature conservation and municipal interests. It remains to be seen how the conversations with the investors are going and what decisions are ultimately made.| Details | |
