SIEA will be announcing individual rounds of the state support for small-scale renewable energy sources by regions. The next round of the project Green to Households will only be for householders outside Bratislava. Households from the Bratislava region will be next in line.
The Regulatory Office for Network Industries (URSO) assumes that consumers will spend 392 million euros on the support for green electricity this year. Last year, the plans stood at 364 million euros.
Zapadoslovenska Energetika has registered almost 500 successful applications for the state subsidies to support the purchase and installation of the small-sized renewable energy sources with the installed capacity of 1,300 kW.
After two rounds of the state support for the purchase and installation of a small-scale renewable energy source, the Slovak Innovation and Energy Agency registers nearly 1,000 unused vouchers.
The Slovak Innovation and Energy Agency has already posted vouchers to Slovak households as the part of the second round of support scheme for the installation of a small power and heat plants. Households have 30 days to sign a contract on installation with the contractor.
According to the Slovak Innovation and Energy Agency, the accusations of filling in applications automatically by a robot in the second round of the project Green to Households, which appeared in the media, have not been proved.
The original budget of 4 million euros within the project Green to Households was exceeded dramatically already on the very first day of its launch. SIEA therefore raised funds for the second round by another 3 million euros for regions outside Bratislava.
The Slovak Innovation and Energy Agency (SIEA) has received motions warning about some contractors who present misleading information about devices, guaranteeing energy and costs savings which are impossible to achieve.
The Slovak Innovation and Energy Agency has already registered more than 200 entities that will be authorized to install small power and heat plants to households.
Slovak households that have expressed interest in state subsidies for small-scale RES will soon receive their vouchers which must be used within 30 days. Their solar panels can thus be built also during Christmas.
The Slovak Innovation and Energy Agency has issued 1,453 vouchers for the installation of small-scale RES. Households showed biggest interest in photovoltaic panels for electricity production.
The transmission system operator Slovenska Elektrizacna Prenosova Sustava is still working on a study which will set caps limits for the installed capacity of the new electricity sources. The construction of wind farms and large solar power plants in Slovakia has been stopped for now.
The Slovak Innovation and Energy Agency has begun the registration of the contractors that will be authorised to install small devices that will use the renewables.
