Finnish Government tightens wind power regulation and slows solar power growth
The Finnish Government has today decided on the regulatory provisions on wind and solar power to be included in the new Land Use Act. The fixed 1,250-metre set-back-distance between wind turbines and houses would prevent wind power development in southern Finland and on industrial sites. The proposed rules for solar power risk constraining a sector […]
