Years of delays in obtaining grid connection permits are hindering the development of wind power in Europe.
Years of waiting to get a permit to connect to the grid is holding back gigawatts in wind power capacity in Europe , Reuters has reported, citing Wind Europe , the industry lobby group. “The system is clogged up - and holding back hundreds of gigawatts of wind farms,” Wind Europe chief executive Giles Dickson said.
Permitting is one of the problems plaguing the industry in Europe, along with higher raw material costs, higher borrowing costs because of elevated interest rates, and government subsidies that, as a result of raw material inflation, have become often insufficient to motivate growth.
