Public procurement programme, replacing the Feed-in Tariff system, which was introduced in 2009. Qualifying technologies: onshore wind, solar PV, solar thermal, biomass solid, biogas, landfill gas and small hydro plants.
A ceiling tariff level is established for each technology in the auctions. Winning bidders sign PPAs, which are guaranteed for a period of 20 years. From 2011 to the beginning of 2015 five rounds of reverse auctions were held for construction and supply of 3,625MW of large-scale (>5MW) renewable energy capacity. In December 2024, 1.76 GW of solar PV capacity was awarded. This was then expanded through reallocations in 2025 to approximately 3.9 GW of solar across 18 projects.
