REGULATORY REFERENCES

Referencia normativa: Germany

Regulatory framework of Germany · Directive (EU) 2024/3019: reported-capacity band 10,000 to 149,999 p.e.; obligations are set by agglomeration load, not by the capacity of this plant. Individual applicability is not determined in this profile.

SCENARIO
