UK government plans to raise limits for renewable energy projects' detailed planning review.

The UK government plans to change planning rules, raising limits for renewable energy projects' detailed planning review. They propose increasing the Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects threshold for wind projects to 100 MW and 150 MW for solar projects. This aims to streamline processes, reduce costs, and allow smaller projects to proceed through local planning systems. Since assuming office, Energy Security and Net-Zero Secretary Ed Miliband has approved solar power projects supplying electricity for 400,000 homes.
