Lessons from other jurisdictions limitation of their regulatory model.171 Alternatively, geothermal resources managed at a more central level was recommended as the regulator would be more informed of the specific of the geothermal development process and nature of the industry. One interviewee suggested that where there is lack of knowledge or capacity of governments about geothermal resources, a panel of experts could be created to evaluate upcoming projects (including the details on exploration data) and provide advice to governments.172 4.4.3 Timelines for leasing and permitting Delays in the leasing and permitting process in B.C. and the U.S. were cited as barriers to advancements in geothermal energy exploration and development.173 The geothermal industry depends on investors, who offer conditional financing. If a permitting process takes too long, project financing can be jeopardized. To avoid this, the licensing and permitting process should have clear regulatory deadlines. This would help create certainty and clarity for developers and investors, and reduce risk of their investments. In South Australia, the one-window application process takes an average of four months.174 In comparison the leasing and permitting process in British Columbia has taken several years.175 4.4.4 Existing land uses and planning The tenure system grants licencees exclusive rights to explore for and produce geothermal resources in a given area. It is critical that this issuance should take into consideration surface uses and other subsurface mineral rights, and ensure that there are no conflicts with existing land uses. Land claims, land use plans, and other existing land or water policy or laws can be used to guide which areas are open to geothermal energy. They can help to identify and map the areas that are off-limits for cultural, ecological or other reasons, as well as specify the type or amount of development that is acceptable in a region. As a complement to land use planning, strategic assessments of geothermal energy development can be used to identify the areas open for geothermal development and the conditions to maximize benefits to the public and minimize environmental impacts. In Iceland, the strategic environmental assessment approach taken through the Master Plan is a way for governments to evaluate economic and environmental impacts of potential projects and regions for development 171 Personal communication, Jim Lawless, Sinclair Knight Merz, December 9, 2010, and Ruggero Bertani, Enel Green Power, October 20, 2010. 172 Personal communication, Chris Bromley.
