Proposal for a DIRECTIVE OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL amending Directives (EU) 2018/2001, (EU) 2019/944, (EU) 2024/1788 as regards acceleration of permit-granting procedures

Summary

The European Commission is addressing persistent delays in energy project permitting, which currently take up to 10 years for grids and 9 years for renewables, hindering the energy transition and decarbonisation goals. This proposal for a Directive aims to accelerate permit-granting procedures for various energy infrastructure, including grids, storage, and EV recharging stations, by amending existing EU Directives. The initiative is currently planned and seeks to streamline administrative processes and overcome bottlenecks observed across Member States, building on some positive results from previous acceleration measures.
