Proposal for a directive
Recital 8
Recital 8
(8) A faster roll-out of renewable energy projects cshould be supported by strategic planning carried out by Member States. Member States should identify the land and sea areas necessary for the installation of plants for the production of energy from renewable sources in order to meet their national contributions towards the revised 2030 renewable energy target set out in Article 3(1) of Directive (EU) 2018/2001. When available, the mapping of areas should also take into account the trajectory towards climate neutrality to be achieved by 2050. Such areas should reflect their estimated trajectories and total planned installed capacity and should be identified by renewable energy technology set in the Member States’ updated national energy and climate plans pursuant to Article 14 of Regulation (EU) 2018/1999. The identification of the required land and sea areas should take into consideration the availability of the renewable energy resources and the potential offered by the different land and sea areas for renewable energy production of the different technologies, the projected energy demand overall and in the different regions of the Member State, and the availability of relevant grid infrastructure, storage and other flexibility tools bearing in mind the capacity needed to cater for the increasing amount of renewable energy.

Article 15b – paragraph 1
Article 15b – paragraph 1
(1) By [1 year after the entry into force], Member States shall identify the landinstalled capacity as well as the land, subsurface and sea areas necessary for the installation of plants for the production of energy from renewable sources that are required in order to meet their national contributions towards the 2030 renewable energy target in accordance with Article 3 of this Directive. When available, Member States shall identify the areas to be taken into account in order to achieve climate neutrality by 2050. Such areas shall be commensurate with the estimated trajectories and total planned installed capacity by renewable energy technology set in national energy and climate plans of Member States, as updated pursuant to Article 14 of Regulation (EU) 2018/1999.

Directive (Eu) 2018/2001
Article 16 paragraph 1
Article 16 paragraph 1
(1) The permit-granting process shall cover all relevant administrative permits to build, repower and operate plants for the production of energy from renewable sources, co-located energy storage facilities, as well as assets necessary for their connection to the gridrenewable heat networks, renewable district heating, heating systems and the grid and those necessary for the development of the electric transmission grid required to integrate the renewable energy plant in the system, including grid connection permits and environmental assessments where these are required. The permit- granting process shall comprise all procedures from the acknowledgment of the validity of the application in accordance with paragraph 2 to the notification of the final decision on the outcome of the procedure by the relevant authority or authorities.

(2 a) Member States shall support regional and local authorities including technical and financial support in order to facilitate the permit-granting process. Furthermore, Member States shall ensure that the financing of qualified staff, upskilling and reskilling of their competent authorities at national, regional and local level is duly proportionate with the implementation of the overall renewable energy needs established under Article 15b of this Directive.

Article 16a – paragraph 2
Article 16a – paragraph 2
(2) The permit-granting process for the repowering of plants and for new installations with an electrical capacity of less than 150 kW, co-located energy storage facilities as well as their grid connection, located in renewables go-to areas shall not exceed six months. Where duly justified on the ground of extraordinary circumstances, such as on grounds of overriding safety reasons where the repowering project impacts substantially on the grid or the original capacity, size or performance of the installation, that one yearsix months period may be extended by up to three months. Member States shall clearly inform the project developer about the extraordinary circumstances that justify the extension. If the repowering project determines an increase in the capacity of the installation and the need for further network development without increasing the occupied area, the repowering project shall be authorized through the simplified procedure as referred to this Article.

Article 16b – paragraph 2 – subparagraph 2
Member States shall facilitate the repowering of projects located outside go- to areas by ensuring that, if an environmental assessment for a project is required under the Union environmental legislation, such assessment shall be limited to the potential impacts stemming from the change or extension compared to the original project. If the repowering project determines an increase in the capacity of the installation and the need for further network development without increased the occupied area, the repowering project shall be authorized through the simplified procedure as referred to this Article.
