Submit the notification and attach the operator's extract from the trade register by e-mail to the Registry of the Energy Authority.

The notification shall contain:

1. Name and address of the company (operator) and name, telephone number and e-mail address of a contact person
2. Business ID
3. Location of the project in question
4. Key information on the cost-benefit analysis and the justified implementation choice
5. Information on the intention to implement the power plant as a cogeneration plant or to use industrial surplus heat and justification if not implemented

For more information, see the Energy Authority website.

The obligation to carry out a cost-benefit analysis applies to installations with a fuel efficiency exceeding 20 MW and to situations where the operator is planning:

• construction or significant renewal of a condensate plant
• construction or significant renewal of an industrial plant
• construction of a district heating and cooling network or connection of a new energy production plant to a district heating or cooling network

The reform is considered significant when its costs exceed 50% of the investment cost of a new corresponding plant.
