Summary:Recommendation (EU) 2024/1343 - adopted by the European Commission on 13 May 2024 - concerning permit-granting procedures for renewable energy and related infrastructure projects. Further information:In this text, the European Commission highlights ways to improve planning and permitting procedures for renewable energy and related infrastructure projects in the European Union (EU). The guidance provides examples of good practice on faster and simpler permit-granting procedures, highlights the importance of digitalisation and community participation, human resources and skills; and outlines how to best handle site selection procedures and network connections. Further guidance accompanies this Recommendation on designating renewables acceleration areas. Under the revised Renewable Energy Directive, these are locations where the deployment of renewable energy projects is not expected to have significant environmental impacts and the necessary procedures are therefore fast-tracked to ensure quick deployment of specific technologies. In its guidance, the Commission also highlights the role of proper stakeholder engagement and public consultation to facilitate a successful designation of such acceleration areas. This Recommendation was adopted by the European Commission on 13 May 2024. It updated and replaced Commission Recommendation (EU) 2022/822. It was published in the Official Journal on 21 May 2024. |
