What is the government’s view on other renewable electricity production methods?
On hydropower, the government has stated that the National Rivers, and other stretches of rivers specified in the Act, will continue to be protected from development. Environmental considerations make it difficult to obtain planning permission for small-scale hydropower plants. The expansion of district heating power will stop in about three to four years’ time. The reason is that the existing district heating networks will, by then, have been expanded into district heating power networks. Building anything other than very large district heating power plants is extremely expensive.
