The allocation method for subsidies to renewable energy sources other than solar is updated by the Ministerial Decree offering incentives to electricity production from renewable energy sources (The RES Decree) of 2016. The program includes non-photovoltaic renewable energy sources such as wind farms, hydro, biomass and biogas, CSP, and wind farms for the year 2016. While lowering the overall value of the available incentives, it keeps the framework of the previous incentive regime from 2012 to 2015. Similar to the previous program, renewable energy facilities may take advantage of either an all-inclusive tariff for facilities up to 500 kW or a feed-in tariff for facilities up to 500 kW who choose not to take advantage of the above all-inclusive tariff or for facilities with nominal capacities over 500 kW.
Reverse auctions are used for plants with a capacity over 5MW, while registry procedures are used for plants with a capacity under 5MW. The 2019 decree modifies the 2016 decree to encourage the generation of renewable energy from 2019 to 2021.
