    Despite concerns about the impact of turbines on reindeer grazing in the area, Norway's Energy Ministry has said it will not stop construction of Fosen Vind's 288-megawatt Storheia wind farm
    .

    In a statement dated 10 December, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights asked the Norwegian government to stop building wind farms because it received complaints from Sami reindeer herders who were concerned about the negative impact
    of wind farms on winter pastures.
    However, the head of the Ministry of Petroleum and Energy said that there was no basis to stop work on the project, which had passed all legal checks
    .

    Storheia is one of six wind farms built by Fosen Vind, in which Norwegian state-owned utility Statkraft AS holds a 52.
    1 percent stake
    .
    Its project partners are TroenderEnergi with 7.
    9% and Nordic Wind Power DA with 40%.

    Fosen has informed the department that Storheia has made significant progress
    in preparing for the installation of wind turbines.
    The 3.
    6 MW Vestas turbines will be completed
    between April and August 2019.
    Fosen has agreed to take steps to address the concerns
    of reindeer herders during construction.

    The project is scheduled for completion
    in the fourth quarter of 2019.
