Amendments To Flemish Renewable Energy Support System

The Flemish government submitted a proposal for amendments of the Flemish Electricity Decree aiming at a modified support system for renewable energy. If this proposal will be adopted by parliament, the following system will be applicable as from the entry into force of the decree:

1. PV-installations on domestic buildings that are not properly isolated will not be eligible for green electricity certificates that can be used by electricity suppliers to fulfill their obligations to hand in a number of certificates in relation to the amount of electricity supplied in the preceeding year. Consequently, no minimum support can be given to these certificates.

2. The minimum support that distribution system operators must give to producers of electricity from PV-installations will decrease after 1 January 2010:
350€ in 2010 during 20 years;
330€ in 2011 during 20 years;
310€ in 2012 during 20 years (and an evaluation of the non-performing peak);
290€ in 2013 during 15 years (unless otherwise decided by the Flemish government);
250€ in 2014 during 15 years;
210€ in 2015 during 15 years (and an evaluation of the non-performing peak);
170€ in 2016 during 15 years (unless otherwise decided by the Flemish government);
130€ in 2017 during 15 years;
90€ in 2018 during 15 years (and an evaluation of the non-performing peak);
50€ in 2019 during 15 years (unless otherwise decided by the Flemish government);
10€ in 2020 during 15 years.
