-
Anlagen, Waren und Stoffe
If you intend to make changes to a system that requires approval and generates electricity from renewable energies, you must apply for approval from the responsible authority.
Basic information
Do you operate an installation that requires approval under immission control legislation, for which you already have approval under immission control legislation, and are you planning to carry out repowering measures on this installation?
Repowering measures serve to modernize an installation for the purpose of generating electricity from renewable energies.
This repowering measure can have adverse effects in relation to the current state of the installation. If these are significant for the approval requirements of the installation requiring approval, a modification permit is required.
Therefore, corresponding changes to installations requiring approval must be reviewed by the immission control authority. To do this, you must submit an application for a modification permit and submit all the documents required for the assessment. The application can be made in writing or electronically.
Requirements
- You must prove that you will comply with the obligations of the Federal Immission Control Act when constructing and operating a plant.
- No other public law regulations or occupational health and safety concerns stand in the way of the project.
What documents do I need?
- ELiA forms
- (Electronic immission control application), available on the website of the Trade Supervisory Authority of the State of Bremen
- Required drawings, plans or expert opinions
- Explanatory notes on the system
- Other documents
- If necessary, ask the competent authority
