Burgenland starts climate: new laws ensure faster permits!

In Burgenland, the energy transition is promoted with an ambitious draft law! On Thursday, deputy governor Anja Haider-Wallner (Greens) will present a novella in the state parliament to revolutionize the approval process for renewable energies. In the future, authorities will have to check the completeness of applications within 45 days, while photovoltaic systems with energy storage are to be decided within three months. For smaller solar systems up to eleven kilowatts, there is even a period of only one month. The repowering of wind turbines is planned for six months. These regulations are part of the plan to further strengthen Burgenland as a pioneer in the production of renewable energies, as burgenland.orf.at

Haider-Wallner also criticized the federal government and called for enforcing measures to implement the EU requirements that have so far failed at the ÖVP. The Burgenland is said to be among the first federal states to implement the EU Directive Red III, while SPÖ club chairman Roland Fürst emphasized that Burgenland was leading in wind and solar energy. The novella is the first step to achieve climate neutrality by 2030, a goal that the state government traces emphasis. The introduction of a photovoltaic obligation for larger commercial buildings also shows that Burgenland recognizes the seriousness of the situation, according to the plans of burgenland.at .

As part of the "Burgenland 2030 Future Plan, the topics of climate protection, village renewal and sustainable agriculture are central concerns of the state government. The focus is on promoting biological cultivation methods and the improvement of soil fertility, as is consistent animal welfare. Haider-Wallner emphasized the urgency of the measures: "We have no time to lose in climate protection." The government is planning further steps to promote an ecological lifestyle as part of the long -term strategy for a sustainable future.
