A federal judge implemented his previous ruling, which was ordered on December 1, the net developer of the Green Power America from North America to eliminate 84 operating wind turbines in Osage County, Okla.
United States District Court Judge, Jennifer Choe-Groves, granted the application for the American Unit of the Italian firm to maintain its 2024 decision, while the company appeals to the case, although it was ordered to publish a bail of $ 10 million. The case is derived from the failure of ENEL by ensuring the underground mineral rights of the Osage nation, despite the proper Lease of surface land rights more than a decade ago.
A spokesman for Enel refused to comment on the sentence, and a tribal spokesman did not respond to an ENR consultation.
The dispute focuses on the construction of the entel of the base turbine bases of the wind farm, which required the excavation in tribal lands. In a ruling of December 2024, Choe-Goves found the company responsible for conversion, discomfort and continuous transmission, ordering the full withdrawal of the related turbines and infrastructure.
The Osage nation has maintained that the continued presence of the wind farm violates its sovereignty, although the members of the tribe are among those generated by power.
Enel has argued that the withdrawal would cost up to $ 259 million, which would have a serious financial damage to the company.
Although it grants the stay without declared expiration, the ruling of March 3 says that the performance bail has an order to guarantee compliance if the current appeal to the United States Appeal Court in Denver Falla.
