​

The 33 wind turbines that have been licensed around Styra (S. Evia) will be the largest to date: 5MW each, 180m. height, 145 m wingspan.

The photorealistic rendering done by the local Associations gives a good idea of ​​how the wind turbines will dominate and disrupt the landscape plus the other problems that noise, excavation, road building and power transmission will create.

The Initiative Group for the defense of the rights of the residents of Lykorema-Theatroupolis-OSMAES-ERODIOS and the Cultural-Naturalist Association of Lykorema invite you to an informative discussion about the wind farms of the company AEOLOS EVIAS ENERGY SA at the locations "PIONARI", "SHINARI", "VALMOS" and "KOURMALI".

The zoning areas, which are threatened with destruction, belong to the Municipal Unit of Karystos, which has been designated as a tourist zone and has been continuously developing in this direction in recent years.
