The regulatory environment in energy and subsoil use is changing faster than most investors can adapt their internal processes. Below is a short overview of the changes that most affect projects in preparation or under construction.
What has changed
The approach to connecting distributed generation and energy storage systems has been updated. Projects that already hold grid connection conditions should check whether these need to be revisited.
- The procedure for confirming capacity for BESS has been clarified.
- Documentation requirements at the commissioning stage have changed.
- Procedures for engaging with the transmission system operator have been adjusted.
What this means for projects
For ready-to-build assets the main risk is a mismatch between a previously agreed configuration and the current requirements. We recommend reviewing the permitting framework before the project enters its investment phase.
The cost of a documentation error at the preparation stage is a fraction of the cost of fixing it once construction has begun.
If your project is at any of these stages, we are ready to review its documentary and regulatory framework and set out the required actions.
