Summary of support schemes
The Government establishes a capacity limit above which a tender will be organized to select the power plants that will benefit from the feed-in-tariff support scheme. Every year, the National Energy Regulatory Authority will calculate a reference feed-in-tariff to be used as the upper limit for the biding price. Furthermore, the National Energy Regulatory Authority will calculate annually, for each technology separately, a feed-in-tariff that will be used to remunerate the producers of electricity from installations with a capacity between 10 kW and the capacity limits defined by the Government (4 MW for wind and 1 MW for PV, biomass and biogas CHPs and hydro power plants).
In order to benefit from the fixed feed-in-tariff calculated by ANRE, the plant operator must obtain the status of eligible producer according to the regulations for obtaining the status of eligible producer which shall be developed and published by ANRE in the upcoming months. For consumers that use renewable energy technology to generate electricity for self-consumption, a net-metering support scheme is in place.
Technologies
All renewable energy technologies are eligible.
