Faster development of offshore wind farms and easier green energy investments

The act facilitates the construction of offshore wind farms and designates special accelerated development areas for renewable energy with simplified paperwork. For residents of multi-family buildings, it simplifies using solar energy surpluses to cover common building costs. It also introduces new maritime safety zones and flexible working hours for offshore wind farm support staff.
Key points
Simplified green investments: Special accelerated development areas for renewable energy will be created, requiring fewer environmental permits.
Benefits for apartment residents: Housing cooperatives and communities can easily use prosumer energy surpluses to lower rent or fund common area upgrades.
Shared offshore infrastructure: Multiple offshore wind farms can share the same substation, reducing investment costs and speeding up construction.
Maritime safety zones: Safety zones (150 to 500 meters) will be established around offshore turbines, restricting unauthorized vessel entry.
New working hours: Offshore wind farm construction and maintenance staff can work up to 14 hours a day, with guaranteed equal time off afterwards.
Energy cooperatives split: Urban energy cooperatives will be registered by the Energy Regulatory Office (URE), while rural ones will remain under the National Support Centre for Agriculture (KOWR).
