With the adoption of the recast Renewable Energy Directive (RED II) 2018/2001 the foundations have been made for a significant administrative simplification and higher transparency of the procedures for renewable energy project promoters and project developers. However, in addition to the monitoring of the legal transposition of the RED II there will still be ample room for further improvements of the administrative procedures related to permit granting and exchanges of best practices between bodies at the regional level, national level and cross border.
This webinar aims to present the result of the one-year work conducted as part of the RES SIMPLIFY project financed by the European Commission. The project aims at mapping and having a better understanding of the administrative procedures applying to solar PV and identifying the best practices. The findings of the project will guide the action of the European Commission as the Renewable Energy Directive is revised and the Commission prepares guidance on permitting best practices.
Following the exclusive presentation of the project results, the findings will then be discussed with the European Commission, industry representatives and the audience.
