Vaarunvuori hill,
internationally valuable,
seems to be in safe 

This page tells you about the Vaarunvuori hill at 62 degrees north latitude in central Finland, and the plan to construct there the first pump-fed power station in Northern Europe. Vaarunvuori hill in the taiga zone is known, besides as internationally valuable, also as the most valuable area in central Finland from the standpoint of the preservation of biolocigal diversity.

The endagered species in Vaarunvuori hill were in a danger zone until year 1998. Imatran Voima Inc. planned for 30 years to construct a pump-fed power station on this same Vaarunvuori hill. This peculiar pumping station would haveused at least 25 - 33 % more electricity than it would have produced; even more than the production of the planned Vuotos hydroelectric plant in Northern Finland.
