The energy ministry is preparing to form a working group that will be tasked with establishing a sustainable framework to support essential reductions in renewable energy source (RES) grid injections, for the prevention of grid overloads.

This working group will also shape incentives for ongoing RES projects, so that batteries may be integrated into these investments.

Energy ministry officials as well as representatives of all the country’s market operators – Regulatory Authority for Energy, Environment, and Water; power grid operator IPTO; distribution network operator DEDDIE/HEDNO; RES market operator DAPEEP – are expected to participate in the working group.

In addition, market players will be invited to offer regular views on the work being carried out by the working group, to ensure that the investment community’s positions have also been taken into consideration.

The working group’s interventions are planned to mitigate the impact of RES grid-injection cuts on investors, and also to ensure that investments in new RES plants will possess the required predictability in terms of project cash inflow.
