(11) Following the adoption of the plan or plans designating renewables go-to areas, Member States should monitor the significant environmental effects of the implementation of plans and programmes in order, inter alia, to identify at an early stage unforeseen adverse effects, and to be able to undertake appropriate remedial action, in accordance with Directive 2001/42/EC.

(25) There is an urgent need to reduce the dependence on fossil fuels in buildings and to accelerate efforts to decarbonise and electrify their energy consumption. In order to enable the cost-effective installation of solar technologies at a later stage, all new buildings, including roofed constructions used for agricultural activities, should be “solar ready”, that is, designed to optimise the solar generation potential on the basis of the site’s solar irradiance, enabling the fruitful installation of solar technologies without costly structural interventions. In addition, Member States should ensure the deployment of suitable solar installations on new buildings, both residential and non- residential, and on existing non-residential buildings. Large scale deployment of solar energy on buildings would make a major contribution to shielding more effectively consumers from increasing and volatile prices of fossil fuels, reduce the exposure of vulnerable citizens to high energy costs and result in wider environmental, economic and social benefits. In order to efficiently exploit the potential of solar installations on buildings, Member States should define criteria for the implementation of, and possible exemptions from, the deployment of solar installations on buildings in line with the assessed technical and economic potential of the solar energy installations and the characteristics of the buildings covered by this obligation.

(-a) Within 1 year after the entry into force of this Directive, carry out an assessment of the sensitivity of their protected species and habitats to planned energy production from renewable sources. These assessments shall be technology-specific and shall be used to determine land and sea areas where installations for the production of energy from renewable sources have low impacts on the environment. These assessments shall align with Member States’ obligations under environmental legislation, including under Directive 2008/56/EC, Directive 2000/60/EC, Directive2009/147/EC or Directive 92/43/EEC.

The overall amount of land and sea areas shall match the space requirements identified to reach the 2030 and 2040 targets for renewable energy as set out under Article 15b(1) of this Directive and included in national energy and climate plans of the Member States, as updated pursuant to Article 14 of Regulation (EU) 2018/1999. In doing so, Member States shall:

These are rooftops, facades, sub-surfaces and surfaces, transport infrastructure areas, parking areas, waste sites, industrial sites, mines, artificial inland water bodies, and, where appropriate, urban waste water treatment sites; By the laktes or reservoirs, and, where appropriate, urban waste water t 1 year of entry into force of this Directive, Member States shall designate their renewable go-to areas. In order to make the designation process as efficient and fast as possible, Member States shall remove administreatment sites, as well as degraded land not usable for agriculture;ive and other barriers and allocate sufficient well- trained staff and administrative resources.

These parks and reserves, the identified bird migratory routes as well aseas shall be outside Natura 2000 sites and other protected areas, identified bird and marine mammal migratory routes, blue carbon ecosystems, buffer zones and ecological corridors, as well as any other specific areas excluded for energy use or other areas identified based on the assessment in point (-a), sensitivity maps and the tools referred to in the next point, except forbut could include artificial and built surfaces located in those areas such as rooftops, parking areas or transport infrastructure. on the condition that the artificial and built surfaces in questions are not spatially expanded and pursuant to the appropriate assessment of Article 6(3) of Directive 92/43/EEC. Member States shall designate renewable areas within one year of the entry into force of [the Nature Restoration Regulation] but no later than 3 years after the entry into force of this Directive.

Article 1 – paragraph 1 – point 5
(b) Establish appropriate rules for the designated renewable go-to areas, including on the appropriate and effective mitigation measures to be adopted for the installation of renewable energy plants, co-located energy storage facilities, as well as assets necessary for their connection to the grid, in order to avoid or, if not possible, to significantly reduce the negative environmental impacts that may arise. Where appropriate, Member States shall ensure that appropriate mitigation measures are applied to prevent the situimplement obligations described in Articles 6(2) and 12(1) of Directive 92/43/EEC, Article 5 of Directive 2009/147/EEC and Article 4(1)(a)(i) and (ii) of Directive 2000/60/EC. Such rules shall be targeted to the specificities of each identified renewable go-to area, the renewable energy technology or technologies to be deployed in each area and the identified environmental impacts. Compliance with such rules and the implementation of the appropriate mitigation measures by the individual projects shall result in the presumption that projects are not in breach of those provisions without prejudice to paragraphs 4 and 5 of Article 16a. Where novel mitigation measures to prevent as much as possible the killing or disturbance of species protected under Council Directive 92/43/EEC and Directive 2009/147/EEC, or any other environmental impact, have not been widely tested as regards their effectiveness, Member States may allow their use for one or several pilot projects for a limited time period, provided that the effectiveness of such measures is and risks. The effectiveness of such measures shall be closely monitored and appropriate steps arshall be taken immediately if they do not prove to be effective. .
