Tarragona MAT Line Faces Backlash Over Environmental Impact

Tarragona's MAT Line Controversy

The Prioritat association argues that the MAT line between Cucalón in Aragón and Begues in Baix Llobregat splits the regions it traverses. With 180 kilometers out of a projected 975 set in Catalonia, concerns over significant environmental impacts have been raised.

Governmental Criticism

  • Prioritat claims the Spanish government timed the public announcement for August, a time when most are on vacation.
  • The project passes through municipalities where other renewable energy parks have received favorable reports.

Environmental Concerns

  1. The new MAT line is accused of fragmenting already demographically affected areas.
  2. It is claimed that the line serves as a transport route rather than an evacuation line.
  3. Forestalia's environmental study is criticized for lacking technical rigor and knowledge of the local terrain.
