        Renewable Energy Targets

        One of the measures introduced by the Energy Liberalisation Act in July 2000 (Electricity Act 2000) is the obligation to purchase green power and to reach minimum “eco-targets.” Distribution system operators are required to purchase electricity from recognised eco-plants up to a certain share of their electricity sales to final consumers (shares are to be at least 1% in 2001; 2% in 2003; 3% in 2005 and 4% in 2007). Purchase prices are regulated. The grid operators can resell these amounts of electricity to final consumers or to electricity traders. If the minimum percentage amount is exceeded, the…
