Summary

New electric power facilities can be accepted and sited, but only if the dialogue with all those concerned is successful. There is always a risk that permissions and licenses from authorities and energy policy decision makers are revised and changed, if the proper dialogue with the general public has not taken place in advance of authority decisions.
