The new EU emergency regulation on renewables permitting

<< Back to Citizen's Observatory for Green Deal Financing page.

Date: 23 February 2023 

On 23 February participants from various environmental organisations joined the webinar organised by Bankwatch to discuss how to apply the EU’s new emergency regulation on renewables permitting without harming biodiversity.   

On 22 December 2022, the EU Council adopted Council Regulation (EU) 2022/2577, an emergency regulation aimed at accelerating the deployment of renewable energy.  It was widely hailed for its efforts to speed up small-scale solar and heat pumps, but it also contains damaging backdoor changes to EU environmental law.  Still, the Regulation allows Member States considerable freedom in how to implement it. During the event we aimed to familiarise participants with the Regulation, discussed our proposals on how to apply it without breaching EU environmental law and exchanged information on countries’ efforts to apply it so far.
