THE Danish-based company wanting to erect wind turbines at Mincha last week told neighbours that a solar farm could also be part of its plans.
Neighbours to the proposed renewable energy generation site received letters last Thursday from European Energy.
“The proposed project is within 3km of a house that you own and as a near neighbour you are among the first we are seeking to consult with and gain feedback from,” the letter said. “We are investigating a project ... that has potential for wind and solar energy generation.
“The project is currently in the very early stages of development.”
European Energy wants to meet neighbours  and talk about sharing benefits of the energy farms with them.
But if neighbours want more information, they must sign up for a meeting in October with the company’s development manager Ahliah McKenna with European Energy saying it has allocated one hour to meet with each neighbouring landowner who may bring family members “and any other individuals” but capped at six people.
According to the letter sent by Ms McKenna, community drop-in sessions and meetings with other groups will be held in November.
European Energy has told landowners it is a reputable and established wind and solar development company.
