German parliament approves removal of red tape to fast-track renewables and hydrogen rollout

Germany鈥檚 parliament has passed a government reform package designed to speed up the rollout of wind power, as well as industry decarbonisation, by removing red tape. The amendment to Germany鈥檚 Pollution (Immission) Control Act, which streamlines approvals for new infrastructure projects, will benefit climate and companies, economy and climate minister Robert Habeck. 鈥淭he acceleration is aimed in particular at the faster expansion of renewable energies 鈥 and in particular onshore wind turbines 鈥 as well as the simplification of the construction of industrial plants and electrolysers,鈥 explained Habeck, who had hailed the reform as 鈥渁 milestone on the way to faster and less bureaucratic procedures.鈥

Renewable energy association BEE the digitalisation of approval procedures will reduce paperwork, especially during the replacement of old wind turbines with new ones, a process called repowering. The lobby group also welcomed the streamlining of approvals for industry investments because it would pave the way for the industrial use of renewable power 鈥 for example, in electrolysers used to make renewable hydrogen. The association of local utilities (VKU) the reform could 鈥渢urbocharge鈥 the wind power rollout and significantly accelerate the country鈥檚 landmark energy transition.

Last year, Chancellor Olaf Scholz announced a 鈥淧act for Germany鈥 which would attempt to reduce bureaucracy for renewable energy projects. Bureaucracy has often been blamed for slowing down the energy transition, particularly the expansion of onshore wind farms.
