The National Electricity Regulatory Authority has set the tariff for surplus electricity production starting in March.
Follow-up
The National Electricity Regulatory Authority has adopted a new decision that specifies how to calculate and price the surplus electricity generated from renewable energy sources for licensed producers under Law No. 13.09, as well as for self-producers in accordance with Law No. 82.21 related to self-generation of electricity.
The decision states that the tariff for surplus electricity for the period from March 1, 2026, to February 28, 2027, will be 21 cents per kilowatt-hour during peak hours (HPT) and 18 cents per kilowatt-hour outside peak hours (HHPT). The surplus energy injected into the national grid will be calculated according to regulatory procedures, with the installation and operation of the meter conducted by the relevant grid manager. Compensation for the injected energy will be limited to a ceiling of 20% of the facility’s annual production based on specified calculation mechanisms.
This decision targets production facilities under Law No. 13.09 and self-production facilities connected to medium, high, and very high voltage networks.
In related news, the Authority also set the tariff for the utilization of the transmission network (TURT) at 6.85 cents per kilowatt-hour, and the tariff for the utilization of medium voltage distribution networks (TURD) at 6.07 cents per kilowatt-hour. Additionally, the return on system services (TISS) has been set at 6.81 cents per kilowatt-hour. All of these will take effect from March 1.
This update comes in response to communications from the National Office for Electricity and Drinking Water and the High Commission for Planning, requiring the necessary data to update the tariffs based on regulated values of general tariffs for high and very high voltages from 2023 to 2026, along with annual price consumption indicators.
