1. A comparative analysis of guidelines and/or regulations “Physical proximity, of general infrastructure, or of industrial or commercial activities, to wind turbines in non-residential urban environments”

2.  Denmark: 35% renewable energy by 2020 50% of all renewable energy to come from wind power  Sweden: 20 TWh by 2020 from onshore wind power Importance

3. Bella Center, Denmark IKEA, Sweden Question: What was the difference in legislation for: 1)industrial and commercial area for setting up wind turbines? 2)to account for the wind turbine next to the Bella Center in Denmark, yet the rejection of the wind turbine for IKEA in Malmo? 2 Case Scenarios:

4. Wind Turbine Legislation Denmark–Specifically in proximity to infrastructure of buildings Area Type6 m/s wind speeds8 m/s wind speeds Residential & Noise Sensitive 37 dB39 dB Dwellings in Open Countryside 42 dB44 dB Low frequency at evening & night 20 dB Low frequency during the day 25 dB Wind Turbine Legislation in Denmark is precise and structured: Government sets overall wind power generation policy Municipalities must make land reservations for wind turbine locations within municipal and local plans Over 150 m turbines authority is delegated to national environmental centers 4x height of turbine for all turbines over 25 m

5. Wind Turbine Legislation Sweden–Specifically in proximity to infrastructure of buildings Legislation is established through : Environmental Code Planning and Building Act Municipal monopoly – municipal approval required Municipality does not need to give reasoning behind decisions Different conditions in different regions No national policy for setbacks or distance from infrastructure Noise limit of 40 dB(A)

6.  More connection between national and local government in Denmark than Sweden  Number of permits necessary lower in Denmark than Sweden  Municipality veto exists only in Sweden Therefore, in Sweden: 1)Longer 2)Uncertain Legislative Differences & Implications

7.  Bella Center, Denmark: Temporary Wind Turbine (1 year) Promotion and exhibition for COP-15  IKEA, Sweden: Municipal power – rejected on municipal level My Analysis of Bella Center & IKEA

8.  Denmark:  Not possible  Sweden:  Possible Possibility of wind turbines next to commercial or industrial infrastructure?
