ANRE has filed all necessary documentation for the launching of the green energy subsidy system through regulated tariffs, but the European Commission delays a decision in this regard, told energynomics.ro, Zotlan Nagy, a member of the Board of market regulator, ANRE.
The new scheme plans to subsidize small projects below 2MW, and which is expected mostly by small producers in hydro industry, is waiting for some time in Brussels, probably due to the change of the members of the European Commission, which did not yet provide any official position to the Authority.
“We (ANRE) gave them all the documents, we even provided additional documents, and even had a video conference with Brussels. But perhaps there are delays because Commission members have changed”, says Nagy.
Waiting for a regulated tariff subsidy system (feed-in tariff), most recently funded projects in the field of hydropower were virtually blocked and the only projects that received money from banks consisted of restructuring investment, industry officials at the Govnet “Romania Hydropower Energy Summit 2015” conference said.
Under the ANRE proposals, producers of electricity from renewable sources that have an installed power of up to 500 KW – 2 MW will receive subsidies in the form of regulated tariffs at which electricity contracts are guaranteed by the system and with a price ranging between 69.4 lei and 167 euro per MWh.
