  2. 1. Renewable energy and the function of law : a comparative study of legal rules related to the planning, location and installation of windmills

    Author : Maria Pettersson; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Law; Rättsvetenskap;

    Abstract : Swedish energy policy relies heavily on the promotion of renewable energy, in particu-lar wind power. Notwithstanding a substantial political and economic support for this development, the installed capacity of wind power in Sweden remains fairly small both in relation to the corresponding development in other countries and in absolute num-bers.
