Approval practice for the energy transition
Approval practice for the energy transition
Making authorisation procedures more efficient
Procedures for the authorisation of renewable energy installations are very complex and extensive. More areas are currently being designated for renewables, while at the same time legal requirements are changing. This poses major challenges for both authorities and project developers.
This is precisely where the new "Expert in authorisation practice" further education programme comes in. It aims to speed up approval procedures in the field of renewable energies by qualifying specialists. The special idea is to provide employees at authorities and project planners with the necessary expertise together and thus bring both sides into a profitable exchange.

"With fast approval processes, we can drive forward the energy transition and industrial settlements."
"Legislation is constantly changing and there are new judgements every day. Further education teaches you how to apply for and issue licences quickly and
and how licences can be applied for and granted quickly and with legal certainty."
