Taiwan: Yuanli wind turbines
In September 2012, residents of Yuanli Township formed the Yuanli Self-Help Group to raise concerns about a wind turbine construction project by InfraVest. The group alleges that InfraVest did not consult with local residents and that the project would affect their right to health. Residents also alleged that private security officers hired by the company used violence against protesters on 8 June 2013.
On 16 June 2013, InfraVest held a mediation meeting with residents opposing the project. However, the two sides failed to reach an agreement, and the company decided to carry on with the project as planned. On 16 June 2013, Yuanli Self-Help Group issued a statement, detailing its demands for InfraVest to stop the project and calling on Standard Chartered to reconsider its investment in InfraVest.
