- How can federal state and regional planning be activated and designed to address the problem adequately?
- Against this backdrop, what conclusions can be drawn with regard to accelerated planning?
Ad Hoc Working Group on ‘The energy transition on land: spatial development challenges resulting from the 2% plan’
Germany’s coalition government resolved that 2% of the country’s land area be made available for producing wind power. A major challenge will be the implementation at the level of the federal states, because the areas that can be used or activated are unevenly distributed. The forms of equalisation between the federal states current under discussion could cause major problems for implementation and thus significant delays.
The problems involve a core aspect of the current changes in land use and the challenges facing spatial development. The Ad Hoc Working Group is working out ways to establish legal and planning frameworks for an effective planning strategy that also addresses the needs of people and nature.
In particular, the following questions are under discussion:
- How can federal state and regional planning be activated and designed to address the problem adequately?
- Against this backdrop, what conclusions can be drawn with regard to accelerated planning?
The issues of land availability, coordination among the federal states, accelerated processes, the role of regional planning, communication, and implementation by planners play a key role in the Ad hoc Working Group.
The Working Group is headed by Prof. C. von Haaren (LUH) and Prof. A. Priebs (University of Kiel). The findings will be published in an ARL position paper in 2023.
