Featuring coalition members CAN Europe and Energy Cities, this session explores the topic of streamlining permits for renewables. 2022 and 2023 were record years for new wind and solar installations but reaching the EU’s 2030 renewable energy target will require further significant scaling-up of the installed capacity. The REPowerEU Plan set in motion legislative and non-legislative initiatives to streamline and accelerate permitting for renewables, and the reforms are bringing results, but more remains to be done. This session aims to take stock of what has been achieved in the last two years and suggest ways to tackle the remaining challenges.
