Eon boss in favor of permanent planning facilitation

According to the energy group Eon, the expansion of electricity distribution networks needs permanent facilitation of planning and approval procedures. „What good is the goal of approving a wind turbine in Germany in six months if we need eight to ten years for the line that transmits the electricity generated from it? That is far too slow and threatens to become a bottleneck,“ said CEO Leonhard Birnbaum at a press briefing in Berlin on Tuesday.
