Purpose

This Law governs the planning and the promotion of renewable energy sources. It introduces a support scheme for RES-electricity producers in the form of a premium tariff and a guaranteed feed-in tariff (for installations smaller than 500 kW). In order to qualify for government support, all renewable energy projects must win a bid in a public tender. The Llaw also provides the foundation for sub-statutory regulations and decrees, which contain specifying provisions on quotas and the support schemes.

Relevance for renewable energy

The Law represents the first comprehensive codification of provisions concerning the installation and promotion of renewable energy systems.
