A national plan with stricter environmental requirements means that several hydropower plants are disappearing and the landscape is about to change. In Hamrångeån in Bergby, the owner wants to tear out the plant for profitability reasons, with the consequence that the dam dries out.
A number of locals have expressed criticism of the disappearance of the dam, most of whom were present during the hearing. The Land and Environment Court from Östersund will decide whether the demolition can take place in a legal way.
