Forestry, Fisheries and Environment Minister Barbara Creecy says her department's approach to the state of disaster is to expedite environmental authorisation processes for more energy. | News24_Business

Environmental laws will not be swept aside because of the state of disaster for energy, says Minister Creecy.

"Whether all environmental law will be swept aside, and I think the answer is no," Creecy said in response to questions about the implications of the regulations. The minister explained the regulations do not promote exemptions from environmental law."And it is not our intention to start producing blanket exemptions from those provisions," Creecy added.

The department is also developing regulations to allow for large solar PV projects and battery storage to go through an expedited registration process. This will be put out for public comment soon. This will apply to areas of low environmental sensitivity.
