An appeal has been filed against the local master plan for the solar power project, and the case is currently under review by the Eastern Finland Administrative Court. The project developer has proposed amending the land use plan to allow part of the area to accommodate data centre operations and energy production. The developer has initiated an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process. The EIA programme is expected to be made available for public review at the end of November 2026. Further information on the consultation period will be announced separately. The preparation of a detailed local plan will begin for the area affected by the proposed changes. The solar power production areas are intended to be developed under the existing partial master plan. The City of Lappeenranta has reviewed the proposed changes presented by the project developer. \- Based on our preliminary assessment, we have concluded that the City is prepared to continue cooperation and explore land use planning solutions that would enable the project to proceed, says Maarit Pimiä, City Architect. Tuomo Sallinen, Mayor of Lappeenranta, considers the project to have development potential. \- We are exploring opportunities for data centre operations and energy production in the area in cooperation with various stakeholders. Any decisions concerning the project will be made in accordance with the City's standard administrative procedures.
