Fermi Energia and the municipality of Lüganuse signed a cooperation agreement under which Fermi Energia would build at least fifty residential buildings in the municipality. This is in the event that the future nuclear power plant is selected for the Lüganuse municipality as a result of a special national planning procedure. In addition, together with the municipality, we would like to identify in the second half of 2024 important installation or development projects of importance to the community and support them to the tune of €30 000.
"We see a role for Fermi Energia to be a good partner and contribute to making the municipality a more attractive place to live, even before the planning of the nuclear power plant site begins. Today, we do not know in which location and which municipality the nuclear power plant will eventually be sited, but previous studies have left us with a first choice of locations for both Viru-Nigula and Fermi Energia. Lüganuse in the municipality," said Diana Revjako, Member of the Board of Fermi Energia.
"If we really want to find the objectively best location for the future nuclear power plant, this requires equally good cooperation with both municipalities, where we are conducting preliminary studies and where we hope to propose the most potential locations for the state special planning application already in the second half of this year. To ensure that the desire for good cooperation is not just a promise, we have invested in various projects in both municipalities - since Viru-Nigula municipality came up with potential sites earlier, we have been able to do more there. Now, however, there is also Lüganuse The municipality has given an explicit willingness to be involved in the planning process, and it is entirely reasonable that we can contribute to the betterment of this municipality," Diana Revjako explained why the agreement was signed now.
This cooperation will continue in the coming years until the future of the plant and its location are clear.
If the state decides to initiate a specific planning procedure and the best location is found to be. municipality, conclude Energy and the municipality signed a new cooperation agreement under which the developer will increase its contribution to the local community.
