Brussels can help Ireland reduce “roadblocks” for renewable energy permits

The European Commission can help Ireland to reduce “bottlenecks” in planning permits for renewable energy projects. That’s according to the head of the European Commission’s body that helps member states improve the quality of its public services.

Mario Nava is the Commission’s director general for structural reform and support (DG REFORM). He believes Ireland’s access to wind, waves and occasional sun, provides “big” potential for renewable energy. And he says,  Brussels can provide the expertise to help countries like Ireland speed up planning permits for renewable energy projects.
