  1. LEAD TIME AND PROCEDURAL BARRIERS FOR WIND PARK DEVELOPMENT ACROSS THE EU Sune Strøm, Danish Wind Industry Association & Emilien Simonot, Spanish Wind Energy Association Tuesday, 20th April

  2. European study of lead time and barriers regarding administrative and grid connection processes • Objective of the project • Obtain precise information on the administrative and grid access barriers that obstruct wind energy investment • Give recommendations to the EC on how to overcome the identified barriers and shorten the lead times • Data for the project has been collected through a survey where developers from 22 countries have responded representing 3,900 MW onshore and 1,800 MW offshore of new capacity connected in the period from 2006 – 2009, primarily 2008 • The results reflects the process of obtaining the needed permits and connections faced by the developers

  3. Patience is a key competence for being a wind power developer throughout Europe! EU-27 mean: 55 month

  4. EIA, spatial plans and environmental issues are the main barriers together with insufficient grid capacity

  5. Social acceptance and positive attitude are also crucial for a wind farm project • 30% of all stuck projects seem to be stuck (partly) due to public resistance and/or law suits against the project • In some countries almost all stuck projects seem to have got stuck to a great extent due to public resistance and/or law suits against the project • More than 20% of the connected wind farms in EU-27 experienced delays and/or serious threats caused by law suits or answering questions from NGO’s

  6. Share knowledge, fight myths and extend the grid in combination with the “good” decision-making process • The planning authorities need to be ready with both long term spatial planning and efficient planning and decision-making process for the individual wind farm applications, including the requirements of EIA’s • The TSO’s and DSO’s need to extend and enforce the grid taken the potential wind power development into consideration • Establish the “good” process of decision-making by creating a well-defined process pinpointing e.g. the opportunities and framework for interaction between the local citizens, NGO’s etc. and the authorities/TSO’s/DSO’s • Make public access across the EU-27 to environmental studies for wind farms and experiences regarding “good” practice for the decision-making process regarding both the wind farm development and grid connection/extension

  7. The lead time is not all – the decision-making process also depends on transparency, attitude, deadlines etc.
