- French President Emmanuel Macron outlined the main points of the government’s upcoming renewables energy bill at the launch of the Saint-Nazaire offshore wind farm.
- The EU’s Renewable Energy Directive – revised by the Commission in May in the wake of Russia’s war in Ukraine – sets a one-year deadline for the examination of permit applications for projects located in ‘go-to areas’ and a two-year deadline for all other projects.
- On top of that, the registration period for permit applications is reduced to 14 days for projects in go-to areas, and one month for projects outside.
