An online platform upgrade by distribution network operator DEDDIE/HEDNO for net metering applications concerning solar energy panels with capacities of up to 10 KW has been activated by a ministerial decision published yesterday, but the operator still needs a few more days to make minor IT adjustments before applications can be accepted.

According to energypress sources, the net-metering platform will be ready to fully operate on February 28, a few days beyond the original date planned.

The operator’s platform was temporarily shut down on February 7 for its upgrade and scheduled to reopen on February 22.

The platform upgrade is planned to simplify the net-metering application procedure and also cover a forthcoming subsidy program for roof-mounted photovoltaics.
