The CEO of Extremadura NewEnergies, Ramón Jiménez, stressed that the acquisition of the land rightsis an important milestone for the company and forthe development of the project. In this sense, and following the ‘roadmap’already announced by the company, the objective is to present the finalproject to the Junta de Extremadura in the lastquarter of the year, so that the Exploitation Concession isrequested and the environmental impact study is initiated as soon aspossible.
That would indicate that the local press were responding to pressure from local groups trying to link the recent supreme court ruling on the protected land of Los Llanos and Sierra de Fuentes. The reality is in fact that it is irrelevant.
We love a good roadmap!
