Green Light For Green Electricity L Slovakia

Up until the end of 2018, renewable energy sources (RES) generators in Slovakia were mainly subsidised in the form of a guaranteed feed-in tariff granted for 15 years, the amount of which depended on the date when the RES facility was put into operation. The highest level of guaranteed feed-in tariff was granted for facilities put into operation in 2009 – 2010, after which the level of the tariff has gradually decreased significantly. In addition, the construction and connection of new RES facilities to the grid was obstructed by various obligations mainly towards distribution system operators. Thus, in recent years the development of RES facilities has been practically frozen.

This status has finally changed and new RES facilities now have a green light.
