Up until April 30, the neighboring residents are expected to comment on the barracks that will stand at the ice rink in Ramsele and accommodate up to 200 wind power workers who will work with the Björkhöjden wind farm and are expected to start moving in early June and increase the number from 22 June. The question shares Ramsele.

- There is a concern, says local resident Jessica Brorsson, and it is the risk of covid-19 infection and many illness cases that concern Ramsele.

Some local residents also worry that the ban plan will be occupied and will not be able to be used.

Plan to avoid infection

The company General Electrics has presented a plan for how to avoid the spread of infection and to deal with any ill people in covid-19.

“The project is not affected by covid-19, the plan is to deliver and install 33 turbines this year. We will take a number of steps to avoid covid-19 becoming a problem, ”writes Antoine Balas at GE Renewable Energy to SVT.

"Unhappy"

At the same time, Hans Boman, infection control physician in Västernorrland, tells SVT that he thinks it is all inappropriate in the current situation and that it is against the recommendation.

- It's unfortunate, it would have been better to push it. It feels inappropriate to bring 200 people here, he says, but says he has no opportunity to stop the project ..

Not taking into account infection

Maria Söderlund, environment and construction manager in Sollefteå municipality, states that a building permit application must be handled in accordance with the rules that exist and that the pandemic is not being taken into account.

- We follow the rules of the Planning and Building Act, she says - but at the same time she understands the concerns of the Ramseleborna.
