Different role, different obligations

The same regulation affects each stakeholder differently. NIS2 obligations sit with the asset owner — but cascade into EPC contracts and O&M SLAs. Battery Regulation producer responsibility depends on your procurement structure. We map it per role so you see exactly what applies to you.
