The locals, who have also submitted a protest letter, are disturbed by the
idea that the park would be too close to the village. The people there are most
worried about the noise.
CEO of Nelja Energia, Martin Kruus, said that they are willing to establish a
greenery on their costs to reduce the noise. “We have nothing against the
greenery, but it takes 20-30 years before it would fend off the noise,” one of
the locals said.
