Norway court rules two windfarms harming Sami reindeer herders

More than 150 turbines may be torn down after licences to operate and build them are declared void

Two windfarms in western Norway are harming reindeer herders from the Sami people by encroaching on their pastures, the country's supreme court has ruled.

It was not immediately clear what the judgment's consequences of would be, but lawyers for the herders said the 151 turbines on the Fosen peninsula could be torn down. The turbines, whose construction was completed in 2020, form part of the largest onshore windfarm in Europe.
