Frequently Asked Questions

I want to build a power plant using renewable energy sources. What should I do to access the benefits granted by the State?

Investors wishing to benefit from the incentives provided by the State for the use of renewable energy in electricity production are required to respond to the calls for tenders issued by the Ministry of Energy or by the CREG when the annual capacity is between 10 and 20 GWh per site. Any project developed outside of this system will not be eligible for encouragement, nor will it have the guarantee of selling the produced electricity.

The procedure for the calls for tenders is described in Decree 17-98.

In the event of a change of owner, does the power generation facility retain its operating license?

In the case of a change in the holder of the operating license, both parties involved must jointly submit a request to the Electricity and Gas Regulatory Commission (CREG) to transfer the operating license for the facility.

This request must include the following information:

  1. The technical, economic, and financial capacities, as well as the professional experience of the new applicant and the quality of their organizational structure;
  2. Any other relevant information that the new applicant deems useful to support the request—without prejudice to any additional information the CREG may request to assess the application.

The CREG makes a decision on the transfer within two (2) months from the date of the acknowledgment of receipt of the required information.

Does my facility retain its operating license in the event of an extension?

If the modification or extension of the facility results in an increase of more than 10% of the installed capacity, or if the new capacity after extension exceeds 25 MW under ISO conditions.

I want to build an electricity production plant. What documents must I submit to the CREG?

If the planned facility has a capacity of less than 25 MW (under ISO conditions) and the electricity produced is used for your own needs without any connection to the grid for injection, you must declare your installation in accordance with the ministerial order of April 2, 2007, setting the procedure for declaring electricity production facilities.

If your facility has a capacity greater than 25 MW under ISO conditions or if the electricity is injected into the transmission or distribution grid, you must request an operating license by following the procedure described in Decree 06-428 of November 26, 2006, which sets the procedure for granting operating licenses for electricity production facilities.

What is the purpose of the guarantee of origin certificate?

The guarantee of origin certificate is a document issued by the CREG, and it serves to prove that the electricity produced and injected into the grid is indeed from a renewable source.
The conditions for its issuance are based on the meters that the producer must install in the plant.
The procedure is described in Executive Decree 15-69 of February 11, 2015, which sets the terms for certifying the        origin of renewable energy and the use of these certificates, as well as Decree No. 17-167 amending and           supplementing it.

Can I access the benefits granted by the State for electricity production using renewable energy sources without responding to calls for tenders?

The regulations in force, particularly Executive Decree 17-98 (which outlines the tendering procedure for the production of renewable or cogeneration energy and their integration into the national electricity supply system), define the call for tenders as the sole mechanism for granting State incentives. These incentives include the guaranteed sale of electricity at the prices determined through the tender process.
Any project developed outside of this system cannot be supported or benefit from the guarantee of selling the electricity produced.

I want to modify my installation without increasing its capacity does it retain its operating license?

Modifications to the main characteristics of an existing installation, other than an increase in capacity, must be reported to the Electricity and Gas Regulatory Commission (CREG) before implementation. Depending on their significance, these modifications may require, as the case may be, either a new operating license application or a declaration.

If a new license is deemed necessary, the Electricity and Gas Regulatory Commission will notify the applicant within ten (10) days of the additional information required to supplement the original license application.

Can a Guarantee of Origin certificate be requested before responding to a call for tenders?

Only the successful bidders, whether through investor-based or auction-based calls for tenders, may request the Guarantee of Origin certificate.

Can an operating license be requested before responding to a call for tenders?

An operating license is required for any electricity production facility intended to inject power into the grid or for a self-production facility with a capacity greater than 25 MW.

However, access to the benefits granted by the State for the promotion of renewable energies is subject to the call for tenders process. In this case, it is not necessary to request the operating license beforehand.
