Too few places in the district for wind turbines?

The Green Party's district council group shakes its head at the regional planning association's proposals for the installation of wind turbines in the Munich district.
District
- Three priority areas for wind power throughout the district, as proposed by the planning association, that is not enough for the Green district council group.
Claudia Köhler, district councilor and member of the state parliament from Unterhaching, criticizes the administration of the district office for a total of 100 systems.
Greens suspect prevention strategy
In its current proposal for wind power priority areas in the Munich district, the Regional Planning Association (RPV) is in favor of Forstenrieder Park, the Hofoldinger Forest as well as Garching and Ismaning.
According to the RPV's wishes, wind power should not be made possible in all other district municipalities.
Judith Grimme, district councilor and second mayor in Planegg: “What we are experiencing now is a real wind power prevention strategy.
Too few priority areas are defined and the willingness and preparatory work of the municipalities are simply ignored.
In Planegg, for example, we commissioned a feasibility study from the Energy Agency and officially reported the area to the RPV.
A lot of work and money was invested here - today it's free.
It is clear to us that as a municipality we will not simply accept this.
Quite apart from the fact that there is no way the Munich district can achieve the climate goals it has set for itself!”
Years of effort should be rewarded
The Green district council group is calling on the regional planning association, which is currently headed by the CSU district councilor, Oberhaching's mayor Stefan Schelle, to designate more priority areas in order to reward the years of efforts of many communities.
“One thing must be clear to the colleagues who are putting the brakes on this: If the municipalities cannot take matters into their own hands together with their citizens, then the big investors will come.
And that means that the highest bidder gets the contract through the construction process and has the schedule in hand.
They don’t care what the local people want,” says Claudia Köhler.
