The European Commission (EC) has published new recommendations to encourage the faster permitting and installation of new renewable power projects within the EU, as the bloc looks to further decarbonise its energy mix.

The recommendations include a number of new practices for energy infrastructure, including speeding up the permit-granting process, and fast-tracking the approval of projects to be built in areas where the project is unlikely to do significant environmental damage. The EC has also called for auctions to be “more harmonised and efficient,” to better attract new investment to the European power space, and for community-owned renewable projects to be offered access to simplified permitting processes, to speed up the commissioning of such projects.
