What you'll learn
- Since 1 January 2026, European law has prohibited the putting into operation of new medium-voltage switchgear up to 24 kV that relies on fluorinated greenhouse gases for insulation or breaking, unless a specific derogation applies.
- Further dates follow in 2028, 2030 and 2032 for higher voltage and current classes, and from 2035 the sulphur hexafluoride (SF₆) used to maintain the installed base must, as a rule, be recycled or reclaimed.
- None of these rules requires an operator to remove equipment that already works.
