In line with the publication of the European Commission’s Guidance on designating renewables acceleration areas, the Oeko Institute, with the EEB, CAN Europe, WWF EU, and Birdlife Europe have published their joint analysis and recommendations regarding the renewable energy spatial planning and designation of Renewable Acceleration Areas (RAAs).

These analysis and recommendations emphasise the need for early public participation in spatial planning processes, prioritising artificial and dual land use areas for renewable energy development, addressing country-specific shortcomings and promoting coordination between national, regional and local spatial planning frameworks.
