The Provincial Council of Álava has denied the initial approval of the Special Plan for the Mendi wind farm, due to its location on non-developable land. This project envisioned the installation of electrical infrastructure in the councils of Murga and Luiaondo, in community equipment zones, the train station, and the Nervión river basin.
Similarly, in the case of the Ferosca I wind project, the Provincial Council of Álava concluded that the Special Plan violates current urban planning regulations and that these deficiencies cannot be rectified, leading to the plan's annulment.
“"Judges have stated that the area is non-developable and has landscape protection. They clarified that the temporary nature of the infrastructure does not alter the classification of said territory."
Regarding the Larragorri wind project, a court ruled in favor of the Laudio City Council, dismissing the appeal filed by the promoting company. Judges confirmed that the Goikolandeta area is non-developable and is protected for its landscape, denying permission to install an anemometric tower.
Furthermore, the authorization for one of Solaria's photovoltaic projects has expired. Specifically, the electrical evacuation line for the Solaria-Zierbena Solar 3 project affected the councils of Luiaondo, Murga, Arespalditza, and Zuhatza. The company failed to meet the deadline for obtaining the environmental impact assessment, and the Aiara City Council filed appeals against this project on three occasions.
