The energy producers from renewable sources with installed capabilities below 1 MW as well as the producers with biomass plants in cogeneration with a capacity of up to 2 MW could choose a new support mechanism to trade electricity at sole regulated prices for each technology, according to a statement of National Energy Regulatory Authority, or ANRE.
The enforcement of the new system is stipulated in the energy law. The companies that choose this support system will sell electricity on the regulated market at a price settled based on the regulated tariffs and to the value of green certificates received if they had chosen the green certificates support system.
According to ANRE representatives, the final price to be received by the companies choosing this new support system will be 10% to 15% lower than the price on the green certificates market. These companies will also be guaranteed by law that the energy suppliers will compulsorily take over the electricity.
The new support mechanism should be approved by the European Commission for further enforcement.
