Preparing economic decisions with confidence

Continued operation under the EEG

ENERTRAG assesses the requirements for continued operation even before EEG feed-in tariffs cease. In doing so, the team evaluates the technical and economic framework conditions. If continued operation does not appear to be economically viable, ENERTRAG provides support for professional decommissioning, from obtaining quotes and awarding contracts through to coordination, monitoring and communication with the authorities.
