Alpiq's Sufers Solar Plant Project Faces Hurdles in Sensitive Alpine Landscape
Alpiq's plans for a solar plant in Sufers face challenges. The project, slated for a sensitive alpine landscape, has yet to submit a building permit application. Locals and environmental groups raise concerns about its impact on tourism and the environment.
Alpiq's solar plant in Sufers is one of four projects planned in Graubünden. Two have received permits, with four more in the pipeline. However, the Sufers project has not yet applied for a building permit.
The planned area above Sufers is in a sensitive alpine landscape, sparking worries about its impact on the environment and tourism. Earlier solar projects in the region, like Nandro Solar, were rejected by locals who feared harm to the landscape and tourism. The Sufers project faces similar concerns.
Environmental organizations, such as Pro Natura Graubünden, WWF, and landscape protection foundations, play a crucial role in protesting against large-scale solar projects. However, no specific organizations have been identified as opposing the Bernina Solar project in Graubünden. Local and national environmental groups often voice their opinions in such projects, advocating for the protection of nature and the environment.
