The study analyzes the appropriate location control for renewable energy facilities in Danish municipalities (rural and urban) using a geographic approach.
The findings suggest that effective location control can be achieved by clearly defining the facilities in terms of a spatial plan, which is formulated in coordination with an energy plan and regulations specific to the facility type and local features such as wind conditions, the percentage of agricultural land, and acceptable quantity regulations. Furthermore, the study highlighted the importance of local environmental factors when deciding on the location of such facilities. For instance, in rural zones, the agricultural environment should be considered, while in urban zones, neighbors should be considered. These findings can help decision makers implement effective location control for renewable energy facilities.
