The energy ministry is preparing a legislative revision to increase electrical grid space for self-consumption by households, businesses and farmers.

The revision promises to add to an initiative already undertaken by the ministry that commits 10 MW to each substation of the distribution network for net-metering needs.

It resulted in the reservation of approximately 2.5 GW for self-consumption needs throughout the country’s grid, but the ministry’s upcoming revision is expected to increase this capacity to over 3 GW.

The capacity boost will facilitate the installation of new net-metering and virtual net-metering systems as well as roof-mounted PVs.
