Norway approves Davvi wind farm, overturning NVE rejection, largest in country

The Norwegian government has overturned the Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate's (NVE) rejection, approving the Davvi wind farm in Lebesby, Finnmark. This will be the country's largest wind farm, despite NVE warnings of irreparable damage to Norway's second-largest wilderness area and Sami reindeer herding. The decision marks a policy shift favoring renewable energy expansion over environmental and indigenous concerns.
