REGULATORY REFERENCES

Referencia normativa: Slovakia

Regulatory framework of Slovakia · Directive (EU) 2024/3019: reported-capacity band 150,000 p.e. or more; obligations are set by agglomeration load, not by the capacity of this plant. Individual applicability is not determined in this profile.

SCENARIO
