Wenn das Flüssigerdgas-Terminal vor Rügen seinen Strom weiter per Verbrennungsmotor auf dem Schiff erzeugt, muss der Betreiber Deutsche Regas dafür eine Änderungsgenehmigung erwirken.

Overview

  • The Federal Administrative Court ruled Deutsche Regas must secure a modification permit to keep powering the Rügen LNG terminal with onboard combustion generators.
  • Public participation is mandatory in the permitting process, with the authority’s comment period open until December 15.
  • The State Office extended temporary operation during the proceedings, ending when the permit is decided or by April 30, 2026 at the latest.
  • The terminal was originally slated to switch to land-based electricity in January 2025, a deadline the state authority first pushed to the end of this year.
  • Deutsche Regas says its retrofitted generators meet approved emission and noise limits, while regulators reported no current objections pending stakeholder submissions.
