These recommendations have been elaborated to help national, regional and local authorities responsible for energy and spatial planning to strengthen the commitment towards renewable energy projects in the Baltic Sea region. The recommendations are meant to improve the framework conditions for spatial planning of renewable energy projects. The recommendations cover both technical and political aspects. A set of new and redeveloped criteria to be applied in spatial planning processes related to renewable energies is included. These criteria help the responsible bodies to better take into consideration the specific conditions and challenges related to spatial planning in renewable energies. This concerns not only the particular needs of stakeholder involvement but also legal, geographical, infrastructural and technical issues. The recommendations were compiled by the Ministry of Energy, Infrastructure and Digitalization Mecklenburg-Vorpommern based on experience in the transnational Interreg cooperation project BEA-APP.
