Energy and renewable energy
Energy and renewable energy are sectors in which regulatory enactments are constantly and rapidly changing. During the past 15 years, the EU legal regulation in the field of the use of renewable energy sources (RES) (wind and solar energy, hydroelectric power, etc.) has been significantly expanded.
- On 29 September 2022, the Saeima adopted the Law on the Facilitated Procedures for the Construction of the Energy Supply Buildings Required for the Promotion of Energy Security and Autonomy. The purpose of this law is to establish a simplified procedure for the installation of external engineering networks required for the operation of wind power plants, solar panels (equipment), and for the construction of other related buildings.
- On 13 June 2023, amendments to the Cabinet Regulation No. 350 “Regulations of Land Lease and Construction Rights of a Public Entity” of 19 June 2018 were adopted. The purpose of the amended regulation is to determine the procedure by which land of a public entity is transferred for compensation for the construction of wind farms, granting the developer of the wind farm construction rights.
