Germany (BMWi, BNetzA) plans to to develop a register of power plant data that covers all plants (“starting from 0 kW”) that supersedes the current “EEG Stammdatenbank” and the “BNetzA Kraftwerksliste”.
The consultation process is open now until end of August 2015. This page collects issue we would like to raise in the consultation.
