  • Elektrilevi carried out electrical work on land belonging to Pillo manor owner Andrus Koor in Jõgeva County without, he said, obtaining the required consent.
  • Koor said the company had mistakenly sought permission from a neighbor and that he was already disputing the safety of a line near his home.

Andrus Koor, the owner of Pillo manor in Jõgeva County, learned that electrical work was taking place on his property only after his wife happened to discover Elektrilevi workers there.

The incident left Koor feeling that the company had acted on its own initiative. “It seemed like self-directed activity, with people simply coming without obtaining approval,” he told Elu24.

In addition, we have been discussing with Elektrilevi for quite some time the issue of the line standing near our house, which in my view does not meet safety requirements.
