Added Value of the Baltic Sun

active 4 months, 3 weeks ago

Ground-based PV plants are popular among investors, creating great opportunities for more renewable energy, but also challenging for local and regional authorities. On one hand there is a growing demand from companies to get information on where to find suitable land. On the other hand, the authorities are facing challenges trying to balance conflicting prioritized interests such as promoting more renewable electricity production to meet an increasing demand, self-sufficiency in food production, forestry, hunting, recreational areas, protected areas, and biodiversity. This is a new field, and the legislation is not up to pair with the questions that arise. There is also a lack of knowledge on the effect of large solar plants on nature (flora, fauna, water drainage etc.).

The project aims to address questions regarding the use of land, possibilities and business opportunities related to co-location of solar plants and other businesses, permitting processes, communication with citizens, solar park developers and electricity network companies as well as local public acceptance.

We are aiming for an application either in the Interreg South Baltic call closing in June 2024 or the 3rd call for small project in Interreg Baltic, expected to open in 2024/2025.
