The DEHSt must be notified immediately of the cessation of operations at an installation via the separate FMS application “Mitteilung einer Betriebseinstellung (4. Handelsperiode)“. This notification does not require verification; however, we need confirmation from the State Authority (Land) regarding the cessation of operations, which must also include the exact date.

You are obliged to notify us of a cessation of operations even if the facility does not receive a free allocation. In the FMS application “Mitteilung einer Betriebseinstellung (4. Handelsperiode),” you can also declare that you are waiving the allocation for your facility in accordance with Article 24 of the EU Allocation Regulation (EU-ZuVO).

Guideline

Part 5 of the “Guideline for the Allocation Procedure 2026-2030” for the second allocation period of the 4th trading period provides guidance on the reporting of a cessation of operations of an installation or an allocation element as of January 1, 2024. In Chapter 6 of the guideline, you will find information on the legal framework, adjustments to allocation quantities in the event of a cessation of operations, and practical guidance on reporting requirements and notifying the FMS of a cessation of operations.
