WATCH – Will security of supply be compromised if the Ventilus project is not completed soon? “Absolutely”, says Energy Minister

The Ventilus project is essential for security of supply, it is stated firmly. “In this way we safeguard the security of supply and that is the most important.” Even more: “If we don’t approve the project quickly enough, security of supply will be compromised.” Time is also running out, because “companies only want to invest in wind turbines if they are sure that the connection will be made. Delay in this project means a delay in the entire project.”

Yet she does not want to remain deaf to the protest of the neighborhood. “This is a difficult file. People live there, and we have to take those concerns into account. We have to look at the full picture.”
