During the consultation that the ministry held on 10 October, which led to delaying the tender launch, market participants were also informed about the support scheme now approved by the European Commission, along with discussing the preparations for the auction and its terms and conditions.

The support scheme will take the form of a variable premium under a two-way contract for difference (CfD) that would be in effect for 15 years. The premium will be calculated by comparing a reference price, determined in the tender offer, as well as by the market price for electricity.
