The paper will be dedicated to the problem of the political and social contexts of instable relations between local community and the particular industry development. The shift from the protests against development to the acceptance and the battle for sustaining power plant within the community borders will be displayed on the background of the political, spcial and ethnic relations. The process of negotiating the placement and then development of the huge industry was far from being democratic and brought some tentions in the local community on many levels of the communal life, but as the industry grown into locality political struggle over allocation of the income from the power plant became a new arena of social drama.
