| Purpose | Determines basic prices for the feed-in tariff as well as the premium tariff and designates the authority competent to define the supported amount of electricity on an individual basis. |
| Relevance for renewable energy | The decree replaces parts of the feed-in tariff decree 389/2007 which remains valid for applications before 31 December 2016. The new decree sets the amount of the feed-in tariff as well as the premium tariff (“green premium) for plants not subject to obligatory tendering procedures (between 50 kW and 1 MW, except for wind power plants). Operations with a capacity of 0.5-1 MW are obliged to apply for a premium tariff, installations with 50 kW-0.5 MW can indicate whether they choose the feed-in or the market premium tariff. The base prices for the feed-in tariff and the market premium are identical. In general, the tariffs are not technology-specific, except for solar power. On 20 October 2017, the successive tariff for biogas and biomass plants (“brown premium”) was introduced in the framework of this Decree. |
