Energy Regulatory Office will clear the way for support for renewables

The Energy Regulatory Office will clear the way for state support for renewable energy sources to the tune of 42 billion crowns next year. The decision came in the wake of a call from the Industry and Trade Ministry which said the government‘s commitment regarding state support for renewables had now been published in the code of regulations. The Energy Regulatory Office had been holding back on the move citing a lack of knowledge of the government’s plans for the energy sector following claims from the Industry Ministry regarding overcompensation of renewables in the past.
