Untra kraftverk Pays/Territoire Suède Type de cour Nationale - cour supérieure Date Jui 5, 2013 Source UNEP, InforMEA Nom du tribunal Mark- och miljööverdomstolen Siège de la cour Stockholm Numéro de référence M 6229-12 Langue Suédois Sujet Eau, Énergie Résumé The company, Fortum Dalälvens Kraft AB, applied for a permit to construct a new power plant in connection to the existing power plant Untra kraftverk. The plan for the new power plant was to build a new turbine that would replace an existing power plant further down the Dal River. The existing power plant was situated on a stretch of river that was protected from extensions of hydropower plants.The Land and Environment Court of Appeal found that the effects on the environment of the planned constructions, especially the channels for in- and outflow of water, would be significant. Chapter 4 section 6 of the Environmental Code states that water operations that only have a minor impact on the environment are allowed. This was not the case in relation to these plans, and the Land and Environment Court of Appeal concluded that a permit could not be granted. Texte intégral M 6229-12.pdf
