Eppo to review feed-in tariffs to help operators
A decline in renewable energy costs is prompting the Energy Policy and Planning Office (Eppo) to review the inclusion of feed-in tariffs in electricity prices to help power operators, though it would increase power bills for households.
The feed-in tariff, in use since 2013, is the state guarantee to buy electricity from renewable power plants at fixed prices for 25 years. It is a kind of subsidy granted to encourage private investors to use clean fuels, including solar power, to produce electricity in order to absorb high facility development costs.
