Bad Rodach plans wind power: Resistance in Hetschbach and Massenhausen!

Bad Rodach, Deutschland - The city of Bad Rodach recently made a far -reaching decision to advance wind power use in the region. The city is planning to build wind turbines by 2030. A wind priority area near the green band is shown, which could also have a direct impact on the neighboring municipalities of Hetschbach (municipality of Veilsdorf) and Massenhausen (municipality of Straufhain) in Thuringia. However, this development does not remain without resistance, because there is resentment in the affected communities. So reports wind turbines are realistic

As part of a city council decision, two priority areas for wind turbines were officially determined. North of Heldritt, up to nine wind turbines are to be planned in the "Gellnhausen" area, which can reach proud heights of around 270 meters. The districts of Gellnhausen, Lempertshausen, Heldritt, Grattstadt and Bad Rodach are affected by this project. The decision was made on Monday evening with only two votes against, such as "https://www.np-coburg.de/inhalt.stadtrats-strats-lieb-lieb-schlet-bei-hleDritt-Windraeder.31fdd1ae7a-4534-0769096b.html"> NP Coburg reported. In the near future, three citizens' meetings are planned for the affected residents to provide comprehensive information.

a new civil engagement

In order to promote acceptance for the wind projects, citizen participation is also becoming increasingly important. The Eueco organization recently published updated guidelines for financial citizen participation in wind and solar projects. These include practical orientation for project sponsors and illuminated relevant topics such as the organization and the legal framework. Josef Baur, the managing director of EECO, points out that there are numerous questions about citizen participation that are dealt with in the guidelines. Not only project developers benefit from new formats such as electricity bonus and resident electricity models, but also the municipalities, because they can better bring in their interests, as on the website wind industry in Germany is explained.

Outlook for the developments

With the designation of the wind pramous areas in Bad Rodach and the initiatives for citizen participation, it becomes clear that wind power use should also appear in the region. It remains to be seen how the plans can ultimately be reconciled with the reservations of the residents in Hetschbach and Massenhausen. Nevertheless, this could be an interesting step for the development of a more sustainable energy supply. The upcoming citizens' meetings will certainly be a decisive factor in order to seriously address and maybe even invalidate the concerns of the citizens.
