Genehmigung zur Änderung einer Anlage zur Erzeugung von Strom aus erneuerbaren Energien (Repowering) beantragen

If you intend to make changes (repowering) to an installation that requires approval and generates electricity from renewable energy sources, you can apply to the competent authority for an easing of the approval procedure.

Do you operate a plant for the generation of electricity from renewable energies 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 at this plant?

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. Your application will only be reviewed as part of the modification approval procedure if the repowering will have a negative impact in relation to the current situation.

Supplementary amendment

The fee depends on the installation costs.

To apply for a modification permit from the competent authority, you must first submit the application documents in full.

You can do this in writing or electronically (e.g. using the ELiA application program). The competent authority will confirm receipt of the application in writing or electronically, check it for completeness and involve the specialist authorities.

If necessary, the authority will request further documents

There are no deadlines.
