New Siting Permit For Clean Energy Transition Projects Proposed For Inclusion In The Building Act

The new Building Act will enter into force on 1 January 2025 and replace the provisions concerning construction in the Land Use and Building Act currently in force.

However, in accordance with the current government programme, certain parts of the new Building Act are to be amended before the Act enters into force. On 19 September 2024, the Government submitted the government proposal for an act amending the Building Act and for certain related acts. The amended provisions would mainly enter into force at the same time as the new Building Act.

This blog is the third in our blog series focusing on the new Building Act. In the first part we discussed changes in building permits, while the second part concerned incorporating climate change mitigation into the Building Act. This part deals with the new siting permit for clean energy transition projects proposed to be included in the Building Act.
