Tenders (Feed-in tariff)
The tenders are available for all technologies. There are different tenders for seven baskets and separate tenders are carried out for installations with power above and under 1 MW. The tender has only one stage in a sealed bid format. The winners of the tenders get a guaranteed feed-in tariff (paid as bid) for 15 years if the power of the installation is below 500 kW.
The winner of an auction will be the tenderer offering the lowest price for his electricity and will be awarded with a guaranteed price per kWh (feed-in tariff) for the period of 15 years (RES Act, Art. 40) if the power of the installation is below 500 kW (RES Act, Art. 92.1.). The auctions will be carried out independently for the following seven groups of projects (RES Act, Art. 73.3):
Projects with the installed electricity power above 3,504 MWh/MW/year (independently from the renewable energy source)
Projects for the use of biodegradable industrial and municipal waste
Projects with CO2 emissions not exceeding 100 kg/MWh and with the installed electricity power above 3,504 MWh/MW/year
using only agricultural biogas
Separate tenders will be carried out for installations with power above and under 1 MW (RES Act, Art. 73.4).
15 years from the beginning of the energy production, no longer than until the end of 2035
The restrictions depend on the rules of a particular tender
To take part in the tender, it is required to be registered as an energy producer (RES Act, Art. 71). Other criteria depend on the basket that a particular tender is in.
The tender has only one stage in a sealed bid format.
The Council of ministers establishes the amount of energy to be bought in the next year until 31 October of the previous year (Art. 72.1.). The price cap is set by the Minister of Energy before every tender (Art. 77.1.). The maximal amount of public support is equal to the difference between the referential price multiplied by the amount of produced energy and the revenues from the same amount of energy sold on the competitive market on an average price.
Pay as bid.
The lead time amounts to 48 months for all technologies, except for solar energy (24 months) and offshore wind energy (72 months) (RES Act, 79.1.8)a)).
The addressees are the renewable energy producers.
The Council of ministers establishes the amount of energy to be bought in the next year until 31 October of the previous year (RES Act, Art. 72.1.) and the order of tenders to be carried out (RES Act, Art. 73.7.). The president of the Energy Regulatory Office (URE) organizes the tenders (RES Act, Art. 73.1.)
The amount of the fee is the difference between the amount of energy produced and energy that ought to be produced multiplied by a half of the offered price (RES Act, Art. 170. 6.). The president of the Energy Regulatory Office may also put a penalty on the manager of the enterprise but it cannot be higher than 300% of his salary (RES Act, Art. 172).
The costs are borne by the end consumers of electricity.
The costs are transferred to the consumers through the price of electricity.
