Facilities for the production of renewable electricity, renewable gas, renewable heat and co-generation of renewable electricity and renewable heat

Order No WJZ / of the Minister for Economic Affairs of [date] designating categories of production facilities for the promotion of sustainable energy production in the autumn of 2017 (autumn 2017 Order designating categories for sustainable energy production)

Pursuant to the autumn 2017 Order designating categories for sustainable energy production, applications for a subsidy may be submitted for production plants for the production of renewable energy. The order contains technical regulations on the nature and capacity of the production facilities and the maximum number of full-load hours. The regulations concerning the maximum number of full-load hours are included as a means to maximise the subsidy amount to be received by each recipient and thus be able to determine the maximum budget, given that subsidy applicants themselves can determine the other aspects of the subsidy.

No mutual recognition clause has been included. This is unnecessary because subsidy recipients are free to choose a manufacturer of a production facility.

Orders that are very similar to this one in terms of technical regulations have been notified in the past: the 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, spring 2016, autumn 2016 and spring 2017 Orders designating sustainable energy production categories (see Notification Nos 2009/0657/NL, 2011/0237/NL, 2012/0066/NL, 2013/0050/NL and 2014/0038/NL).
