A regional environmental committee in Epirus, Greece, has blocked three renewable energy projects. The decisions include the rejection of a 1 megawatt hydropower plant on the Metovitikos River and two 42 megawatt wind farms in the Parga area. Officials cited potential disruptions to river ecosystems and the long term impact of construction and grid infrastructure on the natural landscape. These rejections highlight the ongoing tension between rapid renewable energy deployment and local environmental preservation.
