Recital 5 a (new)
(5a) In view of the importance of implementing the "Clean Energy for all European package" which plays a key role in the European Union's transition towards a climate neutral economy and in completing the Energy Union, JTF will play an important role in the reconversion of former mine sites to renewable energy generation. This can reduce decommissioning costs, contribute to energy security and provide economic value and jobs to post-mining communities. The development of such projects benefits from the existence of infra-structure and extensive land availability; solutions need to be addressed on a case-by-case basis to ensure suitability to the local conditions. Close cooperation between companies, regulators, investors, land-use planners and local communities is essential to identify the most sustainable uses and maximize social-economic development.
