De De Gewestelijke OmgevingsVergunningsCommissie (GOVC) heeft - weliswaar voorwaardelijk - gunstige adviezen uitgebracht.\u00a0<\/span>voor de vergunningen voor de hoogspanningslijn Ventilus. <\/span>Het is <\/span>de laatste stap voor de beslissing van Vlaams minister van Leefmilieu Jo Brouns (CD&V). <\/span><\/p>\n

Ventilus is de hoogspanningslijn die Elia, de beheerder van het Belgische hoogspanningsnet, door West-Vlaanderen wil aanleggen om het net te versterken en elektriciteit afkomstig van offshore windturbines aan land te brengen. <\/span><\/p>\n

Strategisch belang<\/h4>\n

Het project is van strategisch belang omdat het cruciaal is voor de energietransitie in Belgi\u00eb en het land minder afhankelijk maakt van fossiele brandstoffen. Het is belangrijk voor de industrie in West-Vlaanderen en maakt deel uit van een bredere Europese energie-infrastructuur.<\/p>\n

Zonder Ventilus zou er een knelpunt ontstaan: windenergie zou niet volledig kunnen worden benut of zou moeite hebben om de industrie en huishoudens te bereiken. Echter, t<\/span>et project is controversieel omdat burgers vrezen voor gezondheidsschade door elektromagnetische straling en een verwoest landschap.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tal van bezwaren<\/h4>\n

De bezwaren tegen Ventilus waren talrijk: 2.514 werden ingediend tijdens het eerste openbaar onderzoek, gevolgd door nog eens 506 in de tweede fase, nadat Elia enkele aanpassingen had aangebracht aan de aanvragen. Slechts zeven van de meer dan 3.000 bezwaren zijn \u2018gedeeltelijk gegrond\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

Een van de bezwaren wijst ook op het beloofde meetnet voor elektromagnetische straling van de Vlaamse overheid. Dat netwerk bestaat nog niet en de resultaten van het proefproject, waarbij sensoren elektromagnetische straling meten op een bestaande hoogspanningsverbinding, zijn nog niet gepubliceerd. <\/span>Ondertussen beloofde Brouns dat er dit jaar 60 extra meetpunten zullen worden toegevoegd en dat de monitoring op tijd klaar zal zijn om zaken op te volgen.<\/span><\/p>\n

54 voorwaarden<\/h4>\n

De GOVC stelt 54 voorwaarden aan Brouns,\u00a0<\/span>voornamelijk met betrekking tot fauna en flora, vari\u00ebrend van beschermingsmaatregelen voor vleermuizen tot een verbod op lawaai op bouwplaatsen<\/span>\u00a0op zon- en feestdagen. Van de 54 voorwaarden heeft er slechts \u00e9\u00e9n betrekking op de gezondheid, maar toch is dat precies het thema dat tot veel bezorgdheid en protest leidde. <\/span><\/p>\n

Maar net als de Vlaamse overheid aanvaardt het GOVC de beweringen over een verhoogd risico op kinderleukemie door blootstelling aan magnetische velden niet.\u00a0<\/span>Volgens wetenschappelijk advies is het verband tussen beide puur statistisch, niet causaal.<\/span><\/p>\n

De deadline voor het verlenen van een vergunning voor de aanleg van de Ventilus-verbinding, bedoeld om offshore windparken met het vasteland te verbinden, verloopt op 27 april. <\/span>Tegen die tijd moet minister Brouns een uitspraak hebben gedaan over de vijf milieuvergunningsaanvragen die netbeheerder Elia heeft ingediend om de eerste steen te kunnen leggen.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
