The Cabinet of Ministers is updating the rules for the competition to build new power generation and the rules for auctions that allocate renewable energy support quotas for 2026. The goal is to scale the mechanism after a pilot phase that showed investor interest.
The update introduces more market logic, simpler participation conditions, regional lots and a clearer link between new capacity and system needs in peak hours. The approach is positioned as a tool to improve reserves, flexibility and reliability of electricity supply.
The next step will be the announcement of a competition for more than 1 GW of new generation.
At the same time, the government is preparing updated rules for RES quota auctions and setting forecast indicators for the coming years. The 2026 quota is set at 330 MW: 250 MW for wind, 33 MW for solar and 47 MW for other RES technologies.
The model follows a European approach to RES support with competitive auctions, a market premium and more transparent rules for investors.
