BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 4
By Nargiz Sadikhova - Trend:
Kazakhstan is planning to revise the mechanism of the premium for the support of renewable energy sources, Trend reports citing Kazakhstan’s Energy Ministry.
According to this mechanism, when forming the maximum tariffs of energy producing organizations from July 1, 2021, the costs of purchasing electricity from renewable energy sources will be excluded from the costs of generating electricity.
One of the main reasons for the annual adjustment of the marginal tariffs for the production of electricity by energy producing organizations is the annual increase in tariffs and volumes of electricity produced by renewable energy sources (RES).
According to this mechanism, when forming the maximum tariffs of energy producing organizations the costs of purchasing electricity from renewable energy sources will be excluded from the cost of generating electricity. This mechanism provides for the elimination of the impact of the growth of volumes and tariffs of electric energy from renewable energy sources on the costs of energy producing organizations.
In this regard, the Ministry of Energy is currently working to reduce the levels of marginal tariffs of energy producing organizations by withdrawing the costs of power plants for the purchase of electricity from renewable energy sources.
