Läti ELWIND meretuulepargi projekti täiendav piiriülene

teavitus

Läti teavitas 12. juulil 2023 piiriülese keskkonnamõju hindamise konventsiooni (Espoo konventsiooni)

alusel Eestit ELWIND meretuulepargi projektist. Kliimaministeerium korraldas Läti saadetud materjalide

avalikustamise1. Eesti avaldas soovi osaleda projekti piiriülese keskkonnamõju hindamise menetluses2.

Nüüd on Läti saatnud Eestile täiendava piiriülese keskkonnamõju hindamise teate seoses ELWIND

meretuulepargi projekti uuringuala muudatustega. Muudatusi on selgitatud kirjale lisatud Läti saadetud

ingliskeelsetes materjalides: piiriülese keskkonnamõju hindamise teade, informatsioonidokument (uued

koordinaadid) ning Läti mereala planeeringu kaart. Ülejäänud projekti parameetrid (sealhulgas ala pindala)

ei ole muutunud.

Läti on selgitanud, et täiendav piiriülene teavitus puudutab vaid muudatusi projekti uuringualas ning ka

varasemalt esitatud ettepanekuid käsitletakse keskkonnamõju hindamise menetluses. Kui Teil on

ettepanekuid või kommentaare seoses Läti ELWIND meretuulepargi projekti uuringuala muudatustega,

palume need saata 8. oktoobriks 2024 Kliimaministeeriumi e-posti aadressil [email protected].

Lugupidamisega
