Why has the issue of adequate compensation not been considered? For example, the compensation paid to landowners is approximately €20,000 whereas in the United Kingdom it is up to £50,000. In the United States, there is a good neighbour agreement which deals with individuals whose property is not directly impacted but is within 500 m of the turbine because there are impacts in planning and sterilisation of lands and depreciation of those lands. Why has that not been included in statutory regulations?
