Description

In February 2022, an association of local inhabitants lodged a complaint to the EIB-CM concerning the construction and operation of a photovoltaic plant located in the municipality of Mana, in the north-east of French Guiana – France. The complainant alleged that this plant will have adverse effects on the environment, namely the faunal livelihoods, in a protected area as well as in the Regional Natural Park of French Guiana. The complainant also alleged the plant will harm the cultural heritage and livelihoods of local inhabitants. Finally, the complainant considered the plant does not comply with European Union’s and national law and that it did not obtain the necessary authorisations. As a result, the complainant asked the EIB to i) suspend the financing of the Project, ii) restore the natural site and iii) displace the Project to another site.
