The government does not know who will pay for green certificates if exempt industry

 

According to him, there are three options: either consumers will bear the rest of the green certificates for the unpaid industry or budget or renewable energy producers do not receive money for such certificates.

 

We must look to the sectors present in Romania where there are allowed exemptions, which are of interest and see what is the cost, how much of an impact, how big relief. We need to see how much we can go with this exemption and who pays hole remaining, who supports not geting the  money from renewable energy producers that no longer pay these consumers, "said Chiriţoiu, Agerpres.

 

He noted that currently, the government calculates the impact.

 

Last week barely squeezed ministry ( Economy – No ) Institute of Statistics data on how many companies are in the industry, so that we can calculate the impact. Either pay the remaining consumers, or budget, or industry sources. Each of these options has drawbacks, "said President of the Competition Council.

 

Chiriţoiu said that the Romanian authorities sent the Commission two weeks ago the official notification amending the scheme to promote renewable energy, respective law approving Government Emergency Ordinance 57/2013 regarding the postponement for the period 2017-2020 of green certificates.

 

The government has prepared a resolution which seeks to support industrial producers, exempt them from payment of 85% for green certificates. This assistance will benefit up to 500 companies, according to the decision, shall be exempt from the obligation to purchase green certificates for 85 % of electricity by early 2018.

 

Companies considered to be part of one of the industries whose export is less than 10 % of production and partial exemption from payment of green certificates is only if production costs increase by at least 5 % of because of these expenses.

 

We have completed the support scheme for large industrial customers, I sent it to the Competition Council under EU rules and guidance, I went to reduce it to 85 % so that we can be competitive with Romanian industrial products, "said the end of February, economy Minister Constantin Nita.
