Planning to make the future renewable. The role of local authorities in renewable energy resource assessments

Renewable Energy, 1993, vol. 3, issue 2, 217-220

Abstract: An appreciation at a local level of the planning implications of the development of renewable energy is of critical importance for the successful introduction of renewable energy into any country. For the U.K., despite the need for major changes to national policy, a format for development is gradually taking shape. However, the formation of policy at a local level requires further attention. With regard to this, local authorities can play a leading role in the sensitive development of renewable energy resources to the benefit of the environment, the country and the local community. By undertaking local renewable energy assessments local authorities can help to identify the potential for renewable energy, the constraints to that development and, most significantly, the planning formulae required to ensure that development is full and sensitive. This will provide a much needed spur to further development.
