On May 28, 2024, the Estonian Parliament (Riigikogu) adopted amendments introducing an innovative offshore wind project “building rights license” (superficies licence) system, which combines a building permit, water use permit and land use rights in a single document. This significantly simplifies procedures and reduces litigation risks. The license is granted by the Estonian Consumer Protection and Technical Regulatory Authority (TTJA), which effectively acts as a single point of contact for offshore wind projects.
