All's well mate.
These protocols from Kiruna or Lulea are a pure bureaucratic act. If they write down something with a word that is not exactly right, they probably have to hold the whole meeting again LoL.

An excerpt from an article and I immediately thought figuratively of our antis and our so-called environmentalists.
"...
A collaboration that also involves the green industries Talga and Fertiberia.
For the transition to succeed, we need to work together. If everyone works in their own silos, we create an inertia that not only affects us as industries, it also affects our society and our common development. By raising the electricity supply issue together in a round table with Svenska Kraftnät, Vattenfall Eldistribution and Luleå municipality, under the leadership of Luleå Energi, we have been able to optimise our needs and release around 1000 megawatts. This is a good example of what cooperation can achieve.

@beserk I only came across this article because a house burnt down in Vittangi today.
Aftonbladet:
"The government ignores the Sami's rights
Environmental and human rights organizations: Repression takes place in the name of the green transition
The government has a responsibility to counter the escalation of threats and hatred against the Sami - but is doing the exact opposite. Today, the repression is strongly linked to the exploitation of natural areas that the Sámi depend on and that takes place in the name of the green transition, write Amnesty, Civil rights defenders and Greenpeace.
DEBATE. Amnesty, Civil Rights Defenders and Greenpeace follow with concern the reality that many Sámi find themselves in right now. More and more are testifying to horror and fear as the threats and hatred that the Sami people have been subjected to for generations are now being escalated once again.
The government has a responsibility to create consensus and counter this escalation, but is doing the exact opposite by introducing everything from PR treasure hunts to abbreviated dialogue processes.
We should have learned from our history by now. Sweden has oppressed Europe's only recognized indigenous people for several generations.
Today, the oppression is strongly linked to the exploitation of natural areas that the Sami depend on, which more and more takes place in the name of the green transition.
Here, Sweden's Riksdag and government have a great responsibility to ensure that the climate transition is fair and that Sweden complies with the international laws and regulations regarding human rights that Sweden has signed and is bound to comply with.
The green transition must never take place at the expense of Sami rights, regardless of whether it concerns mines, steel mills or deforestation.
Although important steps have been taken to strengthen Sami rights in the form of a consultation order and the appointment of a truth commission, Sweden does not live up to indigenous rights. In practice, Sami rights have to take a back seat when their land is exploited.
The progress that has been made is therefore not sufficient - and worrying signals can be found among several of the political moves that have been made lately.
In the newly added forest investigation , which was presented the day after the Sami national day, for example, the Sami people or reindeer husbandry are not mentioned at all. Instead, the directives are designed around how the production and extraction of forest raw materials should increase further.
The government wants to create greater freedom to be able to cut down forests without having to be notified and reviewed by the authorities. The government also wants the possibility of appealing cases to be reduced. It will hardly strengthen the Sami's rights, culture or the reindeer herding opportunity.
At the same time, the government wants to shorten the environmental tests , which will affect the consultation processes that must take place with the affected Sami when exploiting natural areas on which they depend. Already today, these consultation processes work very poorly - and they will not improve with greater time pressure.
Sweden is also actively fighting against the EU directive (CSDDD) which requires companies to take responsibility for what happens in their supply chain in terms of environmental issues and human rights.
As if that wasn't enough, the government adds a promotional treasure hunt where private individuals are asked to report any finds of metals and minerals for a potential reward. It must be seen as a way of creating popular support for the pursued political direction.
These political proposals and actions further contribute to increased polarization between the green transition and climate justice. It also worsens the Sami's vulnerable position, which we already see examples of.
In Jämtland and Härjedalen, threatening and racist comments were spread on social media after the Swedish Tourist Association announced that they are limiting their activities to mountain cabins, in order to reduce the impact and effects of tourism on reindeer husbandry.
In Norrbotten , Muonio Sami village is exposed to threats and pressure after the Sami Parliament announced that Muonio should go from being a concession Sami village to becoming a forest Sami village, which gives them greater rights to run reindeer herding in the area like Sweden's other Sami villages.
These are just two examples of the racism that the Sami have to endure after they stand up and try to protect their rights and their culture in a polarized society.
The price they have to pay can sometimes be much higher than that, in the form of death threats and killed reindeer .
There is thus no doubt that the rights and position of the Sami people need to be protected and strengthened in the law, which can contribute to creating greater popular and social acceptance towards the Sami and their rights.
It is particularly urgent now that both the EU and Sweden are pushing to open new mines in search of rare metals and minerals that are needed in the transition, because it is precisely in these land exploiting matters that Sweden clearly fails to give Sami influence.
But instead the government weakens Sami rights in the hunt for rare minerals.
When the EU's new mineral legislation was hammered through in December, Sweden blocked the issue of free prior and informed consent, and ensured that this human rights principle was not mentioned in the legal text.
Countering this reference to indigenous rights is a clear example of how the government erodes Sami rights.
On several occasions, Sweden has received sharp criticism from the UN for not complying with indigenous rights - something that the Council of Europe also criticizes Sweden for in a new report . It states, among other things, that the Sami are given a lack of influence before Swedish authorities make decisions about exploitation on traditional Sami lands.
Amnesty, Civil Rights Defenders and Greenpeace demand that the government address this type of international criticism immediately by respecting and strengthening indigenous rights, including the Sami's right to land and water.
It is only when our rulers take Sami rights seriously, and start making use of indigenous knowledge, that Sweden can reduce polarization, including the threats and hatred that the Sami are now exposed to.
The signals that the government is now sending out unfortunately contribute to the exact opposite."

Aftonbladet is rather 'our' Bild.
But, it's an opinion.

Yes it's one opinion from someone that represents one of the users of ' traditional Sami lands'. Like the Talma Samis claim to the multi use land where the richest Graphite ore is found upstream of Vittangi. This is the Area of contention where my ancestors have hunted, fished and practiced agro forestry since the 17th century.
Which was recognised when the Cultivation Border was being drawn by a State Commission just ustream of the bridge across Torne river, under Nunasvaara hill, in 1867.
I also balk at the statement that the Swedish Government should begin "respecting and strengthening indigenous rights, including the Sami's right to land and water".
It is Sami overlord speak all over again, claming exclusive rights to the land and water. To sell on to the highest bidder. When the Sami aren't practicing their culture, ie have got their herds of reindeer grazing on the forest clad banks of the Torne river, upstream of the bridge across the Torne, below Nunasvaara.
The Sami nowadays, being paid by State Government subsidies to be State Employed Game Keepers, on 'their' land using the frozen Torne river as a convenient reindeer transport route between winter grazing lands, in close proximity to Nunasvaara, and summer grazing lands in mountain meadows west towards Norway. All within the traditional, but locally disputed, historical borders of the Talma Sami co-op.
I have not got the full information on the house fire in Vittangi you are referring to. I beleive it was a hunting/fishing lodge that went up in smoke. Hopefully the brewing ill will among the Settlers aka Kväns and the Sami in my home village isn't the reason for arson.
I will get the full picture in 47 days, 12 hours and 20 minutes when I depart for the Arctic.
With some trepidation,

Don't worry about the fire. It seems to be just a small house that burned down.
I was just looking for Vittangi and local news to find out more. That's all.
What makes this opinion so obsolete is that they are against everything on 'their' land anyway, no matter what it's about.
They complain that they are not involved in the way they want to be. It's their own fault if the answer is clear from the outset without any compromises. No.
This is not a consultation that anyone should be sad about. A general no is a general no.
I recommend that they change their tactics and not see everything as black.
Life is not like that. In my view, there are always shades.
The current attitude is pure one-sided dogmatism.
No.
How can anyone blame their government?!
Politics is normally a balancing of interests. That's how it is in a democracy, democracy, democracy.

Because excessive grazing can occur and because the vegetation recovers only very slowly this far north, there are restrictions on the size of the herds.
Somewhere in the last few weeks I posted an article describing how a Sami community repeatedly violated this limit and was therefore fined. However, this fine was not paid. The community explained that the laws had to be changed so that the individual reindeer herder had to pay the fine. The reindeer herder in turn points to the Sami community as a whole to pay the fine.
Everything reindeer?

And it goes on, maybe. This is about the battle between two building contractors and an administration that had lost control. Let's see if they have it back now."Hertsöfelt industrial park delayed
Luleå's new industrial area at Hertsöfältet may be delayed when procurement has to be redone, writes Norr Media.
23 October 2023
Luleå's two major construction companies, BDX and Nyab, are competing for the contract to build the new industrial area.
First, BDX Företagen got the assignment.
Nyab appealed as their bid had been disqualified.
The Administrative Court decided that the evaluation of the tenders should be re-done before the procurement was finalised.
This resulted in Nyab being awarded the contract.
This was appealed by BDX.
The Administrative Court then decided that the procurement process had to be repeated.
View attachment 47975
The protracted procurement process is delaying the work by almost nine months. The new contractor is expected to start work in February and March.
However, some work can be done earlier under the land framework agreement that already exists between Luleå Municipality and Nyab.
The project manager for Luleå Industrial Park, Robert Eriksson, says to Norr Media that, despite the delay in the construction of the industrial area, he does not believe that the industries' schedules need to be changed.
The industries that currently have land allocation agreements for establishment at Luleå Industrial Park are Talga, Fertiberia, Duroc and Lindab. More companies are in the pipeline."
https://affarerinorr.se/nyheter/2023/oktober/hertsofaltets-industripark-forsenas/
I have not read anything more nonsensical in recent years. A call for tenders (?) with the result that someone gets the contract. This is contested so that the court changes its mind. That, in turn, is also contested. So that the court changes its mind again and everything starts all over again.
This reminds me of when the Swedish Lawyer Association thought there was good business in the North and called for a greater presence there.
That the project manager believes that there will be no delays comforts me in this Swedish administrative madness.
I underline that I suspect that this refers to the industrial park in general and I suspect that our contract with NYAB is not affected and it only concerns work for the municipality, so the project manager is right from my point of view.
Reminder:
"NYAB begins work for Talga at Europe’s first commercial battery anode refinery
11.09.23
NYAB begins the earthworks at Talgas’ new battery anode refinery located in Luleå Industrial Park. The facility will be powered by renewable electricity and is part of Talgas’ investment in climate-smart battery anodes, using natural graphite from the Vittangi mine in Kiruna municipality. Preparations for the construction of the refinery will start with this agreement and will begin in September.
The green industrial transition continues in northern Sweden
Northern Sweden is experiencing a significant investment boom and only in Luleå there are plans for 100 billions of kronors. Luleå Industrial Park is a hub for green transition, where cluster of heavy industrial companies such as Talga invest.
Talga AB develops green graphite battery anode products, technology and advanced materials. Talga is now establishing its first commercial facility in Luleå, where the planned annual production of battery anode material will be sufficient for approximately 200,000 new electric cars each year.
“We are very pleased that with this agreement with NYAB we are able to start our significant investment in Luleå. Facilities like this are crucial to the transition to a more sustainable future. By using natural graphite from Vittangi, green energy and proprietary process technology, we can reduce carbon dioxide emissions from the production of battery anodes by as much as 92%”, says Peder Enoksson, Project Director at Talga.
NYAB’s works include necessary earthworks. Excavation, filling, pipe laying and soil coatings for civil engineering installations and buildings within the property. Work will begin immediately. The signed contract includes an option for additional land and infrastructure-related works, which is intended to be started no later than spring 2024. The parties have agreed not to disclose the contract value.
“NYAB is founded in Luleå and has a deep understanding of, and close connection to, the regions where we operate. To now be established with another important project in Luleå Industrial Park puts us in a good position to capture future business opportunities. We want to continue to contribute to the green and industrial transition. We are proud of the trust Talga shows us”, says Magnus Granljung, Managing Director of NYAB Sverige AB."

"Initiative to attract international expertise to Sweden
The vision of the Liberals and the government is clear: Sweden should be the obvious choice for global talent. Attracting, establishing and retaining skilled employees is crucial for the future competitiveness and growth of Swedish companies.
The lack of labour with the required skills is one of the main obstacles to growth for companies in Sweden and has also become an obstacle to regional development. Against this background, the Government is investing SEK 25 million in 2024 to strengthen the coordination of the work of around ten government agencies linked to attracting and retaining international expertise.
Sweden should be a welcoming country for international expertise and the conditions for attracting, establishing and retaining qualified labour need to be strengthened. This is necessary for Swedish companies to ensure their future competitiveness and growth.
There is currently no clear coordination of the authorities' various processes and work to attract and establish foreign labour - something that business representatives, authorities and regions have highlighted in several contexts.
At the same time, many companies are facing challenges, partly due to the green and digital transition, which requires the skills of existing employees to be strengthened and companies to bring new skills into their operations. This is true throughout Sweden, and not least in northern Sweden, where major business establishments and business expansions have led to major labour needs.
The importance of Sweden having efficient and flexible systems for attracting and retaining qualified international labour is also highlighted in Sweden's strategy for foreign trade, investment and global competitiveness.
The Government is therefore commissioning around ten authorities to work together to identify and address problems linked to attracting, establishing and retaining highly qualified international skills and other foreign labour that are important for Sweden's competitiveness. The aim of the assignment is to ensure that government initiatives in this area are better coordinated, more predictable and better meet the needs of businesses.
The assignment also aims to ensure that the labour force that comes to Sweden, including accompanying families, is quickly integrated into society so that they choose to establish themselves in the country. Researchers and students are also included.
It is important for Sweden as a country of engineers that highly qualified labour force
continues to be attracted to Sweden to work and contribute, not least in the green transition. The assignment is important to improve employers' conditions for recruiting foreign key competences that are so crucial to our competitiveness.
The picture was taken in Luleå when I had the privilege of taking part in the groundbreaking ceremony for Talga's new battery anode factory.

Maybe it is interesting for someone of you 
It is also about the job and economic outlook. At a quick glance, it looks very promising for the region. Talga is briefly mentioned.

Some interesting posts on this thread. A Nation's greater good always wins out.
The Important thing is retaining balance.
I presume those Sami shouting out racism, abuse and hatred are in the minority as this language incites division.
I am sure mining and Sami can co exist if it's handles carefully, eg Talga mining only 6 months of the year.
The Sami need to be carefull what they wish for. If Sweden does not develop its resources history says some else will move in and develop them.
It seems like the Court after all this time has made a decision but sitting on it. Maybe waiting for another event to occur before releasing?

And another small but very important step forward!
Luleå Energi is investing in the future. This time, it concerns four new transformers that recently arrived in Luleå. Two of them will replace today's existing faithful servants at Lerbäcken in order to future-proof electricity for Luleå residents. The other two will be completely new and will enable the industrial investments in Luleå Industrial Park.
A total of four transformers have arrived in Luleå. In addition, it is prepared for two additional transformers that will allow for more future industrial establishments. For practical reasons, all four will be located on the Hertsönfield, adjacent to Svartön and Luleå Industrial Park. Luleå Energi is responsible for the investment, owns and operates the transformers.
"With the new transformers in place, together with the cable that Luleå Energi and Vattenfall are burying along Hertsövägen, we are equipped to connect and deliver electricity for the industrial investments in Luleå Industrial Park. Then two of the four transformers that will be installed will secure the electricity supply for Luleå residents," says project manager Mathias Blom at Luleå Energi.
Some quick transformer facts:
In order for the energy losses to be as small as possible, the electricity is transported on the grid at high voltage. This is especially important when electricity travels longer distances. Norrbotten's regional grid, which is owned by Vattenfall, has a voltage of 130 kilovolts. The transformers' task is to lower the voltage before the electricity can go out to Luleå Energi's customers on the local electricity grid, in this case to 40 and 20 kilovolts, respectively."

Don't be surprised. The one for Talga's area was ready for a longer time, but had to be revised because of the neighbouring Fertiberia.
But this is half-knowledge and only with a glance over the fence.

Some quick transformer facts:
- Cost: Approximately SEK 60 million for all four transformers.
- Weight: The two larger transformers weigh 95 tons each, and the two smaller ones weigh 90 tons each.
