Support schemes

In Luxembourg, electricity from renewable sources is promoted through a feed-in tariff and a premium tariff. Furthermore, renewable energy plants are supported through subsidies. The realization and the operation of new photovoltaic energy plants are granted support through tender.

Grid issues

In Luxembourg, access of electricity generated from renewable energy sources to the grid is subject to the general provisions of energy law. Renewable-energy-sourced electricity is not given priority; access to the grid shall be granted according to the principle of non-discrimination. However, electricity generated from renewable energy sources is granted various privileges like cost reductions or its preferential use in case of power loss.
