Energy law – a complex and highly regulated sector with many risks
In order to comply with the regulatory requirements of energy law, legislators primarily use two mechanisms. These are sanctions and the loss of privileges (e.g., EEG (Renewable Energy Sources Act)/KWKG (Combined Heat and Power Act) levy exemption or the special compensation scheme).
The high density of regulations in conjunction with regular amendments to the law pose considerable challenges and risks for companies in the context of energy compliance. The ever-increasing number of reporting requirements and applications to be submitted makes it increasingly difficult for companies to meet all legal requirements in order to apply for or maintain subsidies on time.
Approach
In order for a company to be able to meet the increasing demands of energy compliance, it is first necessary to check in which area of the energy value chain a company is active. This results in the responsibilities and deadlines to be met directly. In order to be compliant in the long term, we are at your side through our continuous monitoring.
