Auctions for large plants with mature technologies

In line with what was implemented in the Ministerial Decree of 4/7/2019, a measure is envisaged with competitive tender mechanisms for mature technologies (e.g. wind, photovoltaic, hydroelectric), adopting a neutral approach between groups of technologies with similar structures and cost levels, possibly with safeguard mechanisms where technologies deemed necessary to achieve the objectives were systematically unsuccessful, it being understood that one of the purposes of this mechanism is to accompany market parity. The tenders will be aimed at stipulating contracts for difference based on the overall value of the tariff recognized following the procedure, according to the "two-way" criterion (i.e. recognition of the difference between the tariff and the market price of electricity where the difference is positive; restitution by the producer if the same difference is negative).
