Bewilligungsvoraussetzungen für alternative Energieerzeugungsanlagen in Österreich

"According to international and Austrian politicians' plans, electricity generated from water, wind, sun and biomass shall replace nuclear power, coal-fired plants, oil and natural gas as far as possible within the next decades. However, prior to their construction, alternative energy generating plants need to pass complex authorization procedures. Authorization requirements vary depending on the federal province but also according to the plants' size and type. Both legislation and jurisdiction are different in the Austrian federal provinces. The related legal uncertainty creates needless difficulties in the switch to alternative energy generation. The authors of this book, counted among Austria's leading environmental experts, intend to counter the current trends by providing a comprehensible listing of the authorization requirements for alternative energy plants in Austria."--Cover page 4.
