Former Narva Mayor Katri Raik expressed concern regarding the halt of construction at the Enefit Power plant on the northern border of the North Kola region. In a Facebook post published on October 15, 2023, at 15:45, accompanied by a photograph by Ilja Smirnov/Põhjarannik, Raik stated, “The worst news of the week.” She indicated that construction is expected to cease within two months, with a return to work unlikely before a year or two. Raik cited a serious environmental problem and the potential for a new political conflict related to the green transition as contributing factors.

She described the legal action as “only the first of its kind.”

Raik noted that the cessation of the oil plant construction would negatively impact employment in the region, specifically stating that the planned construction of a tire processing plant and large-scale limestone mining would no longer be necessary. “I will be honest, I am worried,” she concluded.
