Voluntary Agreement between Ministry of Economic Affairs and Association of Electricity Utilities

Source: JOIN IEA/IRENA Policy and Measures Database
Last updated: 4 March 2013

This voluntary agreement provided subsidies of 100% of the delivered price for PV and wind power, and 20% of the delivered price for biomass and biogas for a period of three years for renewable electricity systems installed before the end of 1996. Since the programme ended in 1996, the payment of higher buy-back rates at these levels ceased at the end of 1999.
