The state enterprise Guaranteed Buyer has determined the winner of this year’s second auction for the allocation of quotas to support the construction of renewable energy facilities (“green” auctions), which included 11 MW of alternative energy sources other than solar and wind. The winner was Waterstrum with the lowest price offer of about €0.11 per 1 kWh, which intends to implement a 900 kW hydropower facility (marginal price €0.12 per kWh).
And DTEK Renewables’ generating companies have started issuing guarantees of electricity originating from renewable energy sources.
“We are confident that every year the interest of socially responsible businesses in guarantees of energy origin will only grow. As a result, this will increase the demand for electricity from renewable sources and stimulate the construction of new “green” energy facilities in the country,” DTEK Renewables said.
For export-oriented enterprises, such labeling will provide additional competitiveness to their goods.
