In the beginning it had worked as if the referendum about wind energy in Carinthia Land and his people split. But apparently she was the crucial impulse for a real Carintic solution – with the permission of all parties.
More than a third of all Carinthians participated in the Wind Power People Survey on January 12. 51.55 percent voted with “yes” for a ban and therefore gave his skeptic expression. In the following days, depending on the political direction, the result was described as “clear” or “very scarce”, there was no doubt that politics should act.
Only four days after the vote, the first non -party conversation. In the Mirror Hall of the Carinthian state government, FPö representative Josef Vanner insisted that “the voice of the people should be noted”, and is vice-vice-vice-vice-vice-vice-vice-vice-vice-vice-vice-vice-vice -Vice-Vice-Vice-Vice-Vice-Vice-Vice-Vice-Vice-Vice-Vice-Vice-Vice-Vice-Vice-Vice-Vice-Vice-Vice-Vice-Vice-Vice, the fronts of the fronts of the Vouden, seemed to be hardened. When the announced following date also fell into the water on January 27, a large -scale solution seemed to have been moved.
Personal conversation brings the turn
But then it went fast when the moderator of the first round of conversations, the former “state lawyer” Albert Kreiner, Landes Vice-Vice Gruber reported that the Carinthia team was ready to talk, but the FPö did not, the Carinthian VP -Baas took the initiative. “He made himself free on Thursday morning and was looking for a personal conversation with FP -Baas Erwin Angerer,” says ÖVP circles.
With this, the, very surprising breakthrough. The central points:
- Legal security for existing wind farms and those who are already in the procedure
- Exclusion of a total ban that would have become difficult anyway
- And a strict zoning plans – as required by the FPö.
A building block for new permits from 6 February to 21 February 2026 (Deadline for the EU Regulation) must create a certain legal security, then the legal framework must be established.
Strict zoning plans and building block as central elements
State Vice -Vice Martin Gruber emphasizes the new, “fairly positive” dynamic. “I had many conversations with everyone involved. Politics must also show that we do not split but work together, “says Gruber. “We have now discussed a specific solution with all party leaders.” Gruber speaks about a “solution with common sense” and also wants to discuss how the energy supply in Carinthia is guaranteed.
“The zoning was put on new legs. This should be in areas where existing wind farms are already, “Gruber explains. “We now regulate this in a law. I could make it theoretically very easy as a spatial planning officer, but after the result of the survey I don’t want to pour oil into the fire. , it still has to be discussed.
“It is very important for us that the referendum is respected and implemented,” emphasizes FP -Baas Erwin Angerer and admits: “It is a bit surprising, even for us. At 8.03 hours we received an estimate of the legislation.
Spö brings itself up, team Carinthia is satisfied
“The protection of the landscape, explicit national parks, nature conservation zones and alpine zones is very important. We have always proven that, “emphasizes Governor Peter Kaiser. “But we also meet our tasks in the field of energy supply.” He points out that the Spö has intensively introduced the case and wants to continue to work in the State Parliament.
“Team Carinthia” Baas Gerhard Köfer is delighted that there has been a compromise: “Thank you for finding an agreement, it is not every day. According to this result, there must be room for discussions.
