Simpler procedures for installing photovoltaic panels and storage systems

The procedures for installing photovoltaic panels, heat pumps, and electricity storage systems could be simplified. Members of the Parliamentary Committee on Economy, Budget, and Finance have examined a draft law that provides for the elimination of several administrative barriers in this field.

The legislative initiative belongs to MPs Victoria Belous and Vasile Grădinaru from the Action and Solidarity Party faction and was developed within a working group set up under the platform of the Committee on Economy, Budget, and Finance, with the participation of representatives of the Government and the business community.

According to the authors, the draft aims to accelerate the development of renewable energy generation capacities and energy storage infrastructure by reducing bureaucratic procedures that slow down the implementation of investments in the sector.

The document provides for the completion of the legal framework so that electricity storage installations are explicitly included in the category of works carried out under a simplified regime. Consequently, individuals who install photovoltaic panels and/or heat pumps at single-family houses, including duplexes or row houses, at apartment blocks or other types of buildings, on roofs or façades, will only need project documentation for the electrical component.

At the same time, the draft facilitates the installation of electricity storage systems and related infrastructure within photovoltaic parks, as well as at other energy, commercial, agricultural, and industrial facilities.

The draft law is to be examined in the plenary of Parliament.
