The operation of an existing combustion plant must be notified to the competent authority in writing or electronically by December 1, 2023.

The notification must contain the following information

• Type of firing installation (diesel engine installation, gas turbine, dual-fuel engine installation, other engine installation, other firing installation)
• Type of fuel used and respective share of total energy input
• Date of commissioning of the combustion plant
• the NACE code to which the other activity is to be assigned in accordance with Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1893/2006
• the estimated number of annual operating hours of the combustion plant and the average operating load
• if a scheme for installations with few operating hours is used: a declaration signed by the operator stating that the combustion plant will not be in operation for more than the number of hours referred to in those paragraphs

The notification must be submitted in writing by post or electronically to the competent authority.

Once the notification has been checked, it will be entered in a register of installations (this can also be found under the heading "Forms and information sheets"). The information contained in the register of installations is made publicly accessible in accordance with Section 36 of the 44th BImSchV and the provisions on access to environmental information (Environmental Information Act - UIG).

The notification must be submitted before commissioning a new system.
