Notifications to build solar parks have increased dramatically over the past year and the County Administrative Board wants to see clearer rules.
"We need to strike wise balances between several important societal interests. The right business in the right place – the best land use in the short and long term is important. Together we are now raising the issue to the government, because we want to clarify and so that those who want to build solar parks know what applies, says Helena Jonsson, County Governor of Jönköping County.
Seven county administrative boards appeal to the government
The county administrative boards of Jönköping, Kronoberg, Kalmar, Blekinge, Halland, Östergötland and Skåne are now writing to the government about the problems.
