(Alliance News) - Aquila European Renewables PLC announced on Friday that the Norwegian Ministry of Energy has made a final decision with regards to the mitigating measures which must be followed to facilitate reindeer migration.
The London-based investment company holds an around 14% interest in The Rock windfarm in Norway where authorities have instructed the company to guarantee roads are kept open for animal transport during the migration season.
In addition to this, Aquila may be requested to stop particular single turbines if necessary to ensure migration through traditional paths, although no turbine shall be stopped for more than seven days per year.
Additional measures relating to use of helicopters and feeding will remain with the relevant court in the upcoming Sami appraisal case, which is due to commence on May 27.
Shares in Aquila European were down 4.5% to 63.50 pence each in London on Friday afternoon.
