The number of wind turbines is set to increase in Bavaria. The planned five wind turbines in the Ebersberger Forest are exemplary of this.
The Munich Regional Planning Association (RPV) has now approved a preliminary draft for the Munich region that determines the locations for wind turbines. In total, there are 22 designated areas spread across the entire region. The Green district council group under Thomas von Sarnowski urged “that no exclusion areas for wind energy be defined by the planning association, as this massively interferes with the wind power planning of individual communities and prevents concrete projects. The district administrator Robert Niedergesäß wants to stick to the decision of the referendum. The Bavarian State Forests as landowners are also opposed to the development of wind farms in the region. They are concerned about the impact of the development on the local environment and the environment of the surrounding area. The district councilors in the Environment Committee heatedly debated the priority areas for wind turbines proposed by the RVP.
