The energy regulator lowered the estimate green certificate quota for this year from 0.2117 green certificates/MWh to 0.191 green certificates /MWh. The quota applies to all electricity suppliers as of July 1.
“The effect of the new green certificate quota will lower electricity bills for end users as the share of green certificates in the final bill decreases from RON0.051/KWh to RON0.034/KWh,” the regulator said in a press release Friday.
Romanian producers of renewable energy benefit from government support via a green certificates scheme, which allows them to recover part of the production costs. Electricity suppliers have to meet a certain green energy quota set by ANRE each year.
