Some inputs

>

A need for more sufficient legal frameworks

>

Realisation of projects will require a commitment from

national, regional and local authorities to accelerate
administrative procedures and authorisations.

>

Earlier contacts need to be taken between owners of new

power plant and network owners to facilitate the
permission procedures

>

A future balancing act between the need for expansion of

the electricity network and other infrastructure projects
and land owners right of property
