The Association for the Protection of the Environment of South Karystia, of which you are a member, is waging a great struggle against the new wind farm installations in the area of Karystos and Kafireas.
Karystos, April 11, 2021
We were informed late tonight that in the long-awaited meeting with the Minister of Environment & Energy, Mr. Skrekas, on the disastrous investment for Evia of the company ELLAKTOR, the mayors of Karystos, Kymi-Aliveri and Eretria, were not finally invited by the Minister .
On Monday 12.4.2021 we protest against the continued installation of wind turbines. Central motto NO OTHER WIND GENERATOR! THAT'S ENOUGH!
The gathering will take place in front of the City Hall of Karystos at 10.00 am.
Dear members and friends,
We enclose a joint statement of twelve environmental organizations, including the Hellenic Society for the Protection of Nature, requesting the immediate withdrawal of an unacceptable provision in a bill of the Ministry of Development, which leads to the degradation of protected areas, and is in opposition to the Greek legislation.
EEPF participates together with other organizations in the campaign, to collect signatures against the order. You can also subscribe here:
On 20/2/2021 a special Municipal Council was held in the Municipality of Karystos regarding the approval by the Interministerial Council for the inclusion in the category "Projects of Strategic Significance" of 4 wind farms of ELLAKTOR company in Central and 4 in South Evia with 65 wind turbines in the following locations:
- 8 above the Portolafia
- 23 in Nimborio
- 3 in the abandoned village of Kellia
- 5 near the gorge of Harakas
- 14 in Mesochoria
- 12 relatively close to Nea Styra opposite Kavalliani
As the citizens of South Karystia have never been asked about the installation and full development of the multinational Wind Power Company ENEL GREEN POWER HELLAS, the inauguration of the company's new wind power stations at mount Mytikas of the Ochi mountain took place in 15th October 2019, without any previous formal briefing.
On occasion of the opening of the catastrophic projects of ENEL company, the Citizens Initiative calls to protest all citizens of S. Karystia.
The inauguration, open the way for S. Karystia region to be characterized as energy center, changing the fate of our homeplace.
