Improving the conditions for the development of renewable energy sources

Entry into force of an amending act which shall remove formal barriers to investments in onshore infrastructure. 

The amendment shall make the distance rule (minimum distance from windmill to residential building - 10 times windmill' height, 10H) more flexible by giving more power to determine minimum distances to municipalities as part of the spatial/zoning procedure and to regional environmental protection offices as part of the procedure for issuing decisions on environmental conditions. 

The general 10H distance rule shall be maintained, but the possibility of deviations from it shall be enabled and that more power to determine the location of wind farms shall be given to individual municipalities as part of the local planning procedure (zoning/spatial procedure). 

The local plan shall be able to define a shorter distance of the wind farm from the residential building, taking into account the range of the wind farms' impacts based on the environmental impact forecast made under such a plan.
