The Pollution Prevention and Control (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2014

30 October 2014

Permitting

The Pollution Prevention and Control (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2014 will amend the permitting regime in Scotland to reflect the requirements of the Energy Efficiency Directive (2012/27/EU). The draft amendment requires that cost-benefit analysis is carried out for high-efficiency cogeneration, waste heat recovery and connections to district heating and cooling networks for certain new or substantially refurbished installations. The duty to carry out analysis applies to installations with a total thermal input exceeding 20MW, unless specifically derogated.
