Estonians question the interest of developers of wind power parks - by Toomas Hõbemägi
Canadian company that plans massive wind power parks in Estonia could produce more energy than Estonia can consume or sell. Vali was referring to the plans of Greta Energy, a Canadian company with close links to Russian businessmen, that has announced plans to build a 1,000 MW offshore wind power park near Hiiumaa coast and another 500 MW park in Purtse. Critics have already questioned such plans and say that the Purtse park could start distorting the operation of Estonian air defence radars that monitor activities of Russian military airfields near the Estonian border. By a new law that is being drafted the development of offshore wind power parks would also require a permission from the Defence Ministry, namely because of the radar problem.
