Article 5 – paragraph 2 – subparagraph 3
Member States may exempt existing medium combustion plants which do not operate more than 51000 operating hours per year as a rolling average over a period of 5 years from compliance with the emission limit values set out in Part 1 of Annex II. In that case, for plants firing solid fuels, an emission limit value for particulate matter of 200 mg/Nm³ shall apply. Member States may exempt medium combustion plants in vulnerable isolated systems from compliance with the emission limit values set out in Part 1 of Annex II during the event of an interconnection failure. Member States shall inform the Commission of the duration and reason for any exemption granted under the second subparagraph within one year. In such an event, Member States may replace the number of operating hours in the respective year of the interconnection failure with 1000 hours for purposes of calculating the rolling average figure contained within the exemption in the first subparagraph.

Article 5 a (new)
Article 5 a Limited life derogation 1. Member States may exempt existing medium combustion plants from compliance with the limit values set out in Part 1a, 1b and 1c of Annex II and the monitoring and reporting requirements set out in Article 6 and Annex IV for 5 years from the applicable dates set out in Article 5(2) provided that the following conditions are fulfilled: (a) the operator of the combustion plant undertakes, in a written declaration submitted to the competent authority by 1 January 2024, not to operate the plant for more than 11000 operating hours, starting from 1 January 2030 and ending no later than 31 December 2034 for plants with a rated thermal input between 1 and 5 MW and starting from 1 January 2025 and ending no later than 31 December 2029 for plants with a rated thermal input above 5 MW; (b) the operator is required to submit each year to the competent authority a record of the number of operating hours since the applicable dates set out in Article 5(2) 2. Each Member State shall communicate to the Commission in the reports mentioned in paragraphs 1 and 2 of Article 12 a list of any combustion plants to which paragraph 1 applies, including their total rated thermal input and the fuel types used. For plants subject to paragraph 1, Member States shall communicate annually to the Commission a record of the number of operating hours since 1 January 2025 or 1 January 2030 as applicable.
