Permitting: getting better now?

When: Wednesday, 26 April 2023, 11:00 - 12:30
Where: Auditorium 11 - EasyPermits showcase & reception

Session description

This debate will offer a roundup of the latest developments on measures to simplify and streamline permitting across Europe to speed up the deployment of wind.

And also be the first one to learn about EasyPermits, a prototype for a novel Digital Permitting Solution that we’ve developed in collaboration with permitting authorities in different Members States, with strategic and technical support from Amazon Web Services and Accenture. This solution digitalises and automates the permitting process, consolidates data and documentation within a central repository, and provides timely communications to all impacted stakeholders, including renewable project developers, government employees in permit granting authorities, and public citizens.

Stay with us for a reception after this session to continue the discussion with speakers. It will take place just outside the conference room.
