Renewable energy policy database and support

The operators of renewable energy plants need to file a request for a connection to the power grid along with a valid energy permit, a connection consent and a valid declaration for a production facility. RES power plants are given priority when applying for grid connection. Power plants with an energy output of more than 10 MW are subject to specific regulations.

The grid operators are obliged to import and transmit all electricity from renewable sources generated by RES power plants. Specific regulations apply to power plants with an energy output of more than 10 MW.

The obligation to connect renewable energy plants to the grid may give rise to a claim for the development of the grid. The costs for grid development are borne by the grid operator.
