1. Law and Energy Transitions: Wind Turbines and Planning Law in the UK.

Author

Fisher, Elizabeth

Subjects
WIND power laws, RENEWABLE energy transition (Government policy), WIND turbines, PLANNING laws, ELECTRIC utility laws, DISPUTE resolution, DECISION making in law, ADMINISTRATIVE law, LAW
Abstract

Through a study of planning law and the legal challenges to wind energy planning decisions, this article shows how law plays an important role in framing understandings of both wind energy projects and decision making with regard to such projects. Law also provides important forums for dispute resolution. These frames and forums create legal stability in the wake of the legal disruption created by the introduction of wind energy as a significant energy infrastructure. Highlighting that role raises important questions for scholars of energy transitions, planning law, and social regulation more generally. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

This article presents an analysis of the Great Britain's Energy Act 2004 law on the regulation of offshore wind power plants and this legislative framework's compatibility with international marine and environmental laws. Energy Act provides for the development of wind farms as a renewable energy source beyond the limits of the British territorial sea within designated enterprise zones. Legal issues are raised by rights of navigation, decommissioning of turbines at the end of their operational life, and the protection of the marine environment.
