Dispute over wind power: Citizens in Stockelsdorf fight for their voice!

in Stockelsdorf there was a strongly frequented meeting in the town hall on Tuesday evening, which devoted itself to the topic of wind power. Citizens from the surrounding communities Krumbeck, Arfrade, Dissau, Curau and Pohnsdorf expressed their concerns about the current wind power plans of the community. The main concerns of those present included questions about noise protection, shadow throwing, sound insulation, species protection and security.

Jan-Christian Ohm, the building manager, made it clear that there were no financial reasons for the change of course.

The decision made only defines one examination area to clarify whether and how many wind turbines can be built there. Ohm emphasized that the community could actively shape or wait for what the other communities do.

municipal opening clause and citizens' decision

An important aspect of the discussion is the municipal opening clause, which allows Stockelsdorf to show space for wind power. This regulation allows the planning of wind turbines outside of the priority areas determined by the country until the end of 2027. The municipality thus influences the size, location and the number of wind energy systems. Ohm explained that opportunities for participation for the citizens and the Stockelsdorf municipal works should also be developed.
