The second public discussion on the proposed wind farm in Nīcgale, Augšdaugava municipality, took place on Tuesday in a tense atmosphere. Representatives of the company "Vindr" met with local residents, who again expressed strong skepticism and opposition to the plan to install dozens of wind turbines in the area.

Despite this being the second meeting, the community remains unconvinced. Many residents voiced concerns about potential impacts on quality of life, landscape, and environment. For their part, "Vindr" representatives attempted to highlight the benefits of the project, but were met with resistance.

The local government has promised to consider residents' opinions as discussions continue. No specific number of turbines or project timeline have been disclosed yet.
