A lot has been said and written about delays at Energinet and in general in the green transition for many infrastructure and energy projects. Now Energinet itself points out that a large part of the delays are partly self-inflicted, because Denmark has over-implemented EU regulations, writes Finans.
- 80 percent of the projects that are currently in the queue for environmental approval will disappear (from the queue, ed.) if the over-implementation is rolled back. We think that is a good idea, says Søren Dupont Kristensen, Chief Operating Officer at Energinet, to Finans.
Energinet's own figures show that the authorities' case processing time for environmental screenings has increased on average from 119 days in 2020 to 722 days in 2024. Minister for the Green Tripartite, Jeppe Bruus (S), writes in an email to Finance that the government is in the process of looking at recommendations from the National Energy Crisis Staff (NEKST), and "we will also look at the part that deals with over-implementation."
