LEGAL ISSUES OF LOCATING INSTALLATIONS GENERATING RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES

Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the legal and administrative regulations regarding location of installations generating energy from renewable sources (RES). The growing importance of generating energy from renewable sources and the significant involvement of public funds allocated to support the development of RES generation infrastructure contrast with the lack of coherent legal regulations regarding the implementation of this type of investment. The legal provisions governing the investment process involving the construction of RES installations remain dispersed in many normative acts, and decisions concerning the construction of new installations are made by various authorities as part of separate administrative proceedings regarding individual legal aspects of these investments. Issues related to the location of renewable energy sources installations are regulated primarily in the area of spatial planning and development regulations, with the provisions of specific acts discussed in the article also playing an important role, including, in particular, the acts on renewable energy sources and those on investments in wind farms.
