EUROPEAN Energy has capped attendance at proposed landowner meetings as it prepares to release details of a proposed wind farm at Mincha.
The Danish-owned company has sent letters saying it wants no more than six people at meetings this month.
“Small groups often allow for more focused and meaningful discussion,” said the company letter received by neighbouring landowners on Thursday.
“We respectfully request that attendance be limited to a maximum of six people, excluding European Energy staff.
“We will then hold additional community drop-in sessions and meetings with other local groups within three weeks of  our neighbour meetings.”
Neighbouring landowners have to book their one-hour meetings for one of nine days at the end of October.
European Energy has sent letters to landowners within 3km of the proposed wind farm site.
Some Pyramid Hill district residents have already erected “no turbine” banners on roadsides and attended a forum organised by the newly-formed Loddon Valley Renewables Awareness Group where agriculture and rural community advocates called on landowners not to sign any agreements with wind and solar farm speculators.
The European Energy letters came the same day  VicGrid released draft community engagement guidelines for renewable energy companies.
