Client alert: Hungary to designate 17 "eased areas" for wind turbines – key legal changes signal stronger role for wind in upcoming grid capacity tenders
Hungary has taken a significant step toward accelerating wind energy development by proposing the designation of 17 districts as "eased areas" (also referred to as renewables acceleration areas under EU legislation) for wind power projects. Most of these proposed zones are in the northwest Kisalföld region and its surroundings, but faster permitting and more favourable conditions would also apply to wind projects in the districts of Dunaújváros, Heves, Mezőtúr, Miskolc and Törökszentmiklós.
