Clearance
Approval for Change of User
If the land use changes to the generation of energy, it must be approved by the Local Government. The process includes an advertisement, and recommendations from members of the public and line-ministries, which are obtained by the Local Government. The application is often combined with one for a construction permit. Change of User is done by various County Governments depending on where the project is located.
