-
Basic information
If you wish to change the operator of a medium-sized combustion plant, gas turbine, or internal combustion engine facility, you must first notify the competent air pollution control authority.
The notification requirement generally applies to all combustion plants—whether or not they require a permit—with a thermal capacity of at least 1 MW and less than 50 MW.
For aggregated combustion plants, you must notify the authority of the planned commissioning if the combined thermal output exceeds 1 MW and is less than 50 MW.
The information you provide will then be entered by the competent authority into a publicly accessible plant registry.
