Title Social License and Administrative Law: A Challenge of Renewables
Year 2021
Published
Abstract The goal of the European Green Deal to convert the EU into a climate neutral economy presents an opportunity for administrative law across the EU to develop a coherent approach toward a large-scale deployment of renewables. Due to their physical attributes, modern renewables create a number of obstacles for their wide scale deployment. The purpose of the paper is to investigate whether a top-down approach to creating a homogeneous streamlined approach to the development of the renewables-oriented set of administrative regulations across the EU is likely to facilitate the goal of the European Green Deal or, alternatively, the introduction of renewables should be left for individual EU countries to pursue at their own comfortable speed. The paper uses a comparative legal analysis by looking into a similar regulatory approach which has been tried in Canada. The paper concluded that a unification of the EU-wide administrative renewables' placement regulations, if attempted, should be sufficiently slow and well-structured not to disturb a fragile balance between a need to expand the use of renewables and the right of local communities to accept their deployment at their comfortable speed.
