It will no longer be forbidden to stay close to the wind power development in Haramsøy.
Published:
The ban on staying close to wind power development at Haramsøya in Ålesund will not be extended, the Møre og Romsdal police district writes in a press release late Wednesday.
– By the time the contractor finished the day’s work session at 7pm on Wednesday, the police had not recorded a single violation of the residence ban for an entire month, says Police Chief Ingar Bøen in the press release.
Therefore, he sees no reason to further limit the public’s right to use the mountain. The ban could be fined around 8,000 crowns.

– For us, it is important that we do not implement measures that are more intrusive than absolutely necessary, he says.
It was on August 24 of this year that the police were forced to introduce a residency ban in parts of the island.
The background to the ban was that activists in recent months have carried out a series of actions to prevent the development of wind power in Haramsøya.
Opponents of wind power development have long acted in various ways to show their opposition, both in Haramsøya and Frøya, where a residence ban was introduced in August of the previous year.
“If there are actions that hinder legal work and free movement, the police will immediately intervene with sanctions. This may involve fines, but also shorter residence bans targeting particularly active people, “the press release states.
