Stephanie Nitsch "Wind Power from a Civil Law Perspective"


,

Vortrag


About the talk:

In view of an increasing demand for renewable energy, the aim of this talk is to address the challenges that civil law poses to the purchase, construction, and operation of renewable power plants. With a special focus on wind power, a central task is to examine challenges of the law of obligations as well as property law. This analysis is performed through the lens of the various actors involved, such as manufacturers, constructors, operators, and landowners. Which concepts and argumentations are advocated, and do they comply with today’s court practice? In response to this question, new approaches and possible solutions under Austrian civil law shall be introduced and discussed.
