According to the current law, a green certificate currently costs between EUR27 and EUR55.
The approval of the draft would trigger a new cut in the state support for green energy producers.
Early 2013, the country’s energy market regulator ANRE said renewable energy producers receive too many green certificates in ratio with investment costs in power units and recommended the government should reduce the number of green certificates granted to renewable energy producers.
Besides reducing the number of green certificates, the government also decided to put off, starting July 1, 2013, the granting of a part of green certificates to investors in micro-hydro units, wind power plants and photovoltaic power stations. The measure would be valid until March 2017 for hydropower units and photovoltaic power stations, and until 2018 for wind plants.
