The maze of wind power plant licensing in Hungary
16 August, 2010, Budapest Corvinus University Corruption Research Centre
This case study analyses the Hungarian regulations on the installation of wind power plants through interviews conducted with market players and workers of relevant authorities, and through analysing the regulatory environment (laws, decrees, procedure regulations) that form the base for licensing. The primary focus is on the licensing procedure for the installation of wind farms because preparation of the originally planned procedure for the second round of quote allocation had not been completed by the time of this study, despite the initial schedule. The study also discusses the entrepreneurial perception of this second quote allocation.
