Nir Ben Haim: "The quality of life of the residents of Hadera and the area is not desolate. "Hadera is not the backyard of the State of Israel! There is no room for another power plant in the city," he says.
"In such a complex and difficult time, I am happy that the government ministers realized it. "I thank the ministers and especially Eli Cohen, Miri Regev, and Idit Silman, for their mobilization in the struggle for the benefit of the residents of Hadera." "The decision to cancel the OPC2 power plant is a permanent decision," says the mayor. "Unlike the decision of May 2023, this time it is a permanent decision," adds the mayor. "The meaning of the issue will not come up for discussion again." "We will recall that the mayor led the organization of mayors and councils in the entire region, in cooperation with the Sharon Carmel Association of Cities for the Environment, against the plan to establish an OPC1 station," says a spokesman.
