Czech Republic: Commission approves €3.2 billion Czech State aid scheme to support high-efficiency CHP
On 27th May 2024 the European Commission approved a €3.2 billion Czech scheme to support the production of electricity from new and modernised high-efficiency CHP plants. The scheme will run until 31 December 2025 and will allow operators of high-efficiency cogeneration plants fuelled by renewable gas to obtain a feed-in premium for each MWh of produced electricity for a duration of 15 years. The amount of bonus is set through tenders, except for small installations (up to 1 MWe) where the amount is set administratively by the Czech Energy Regulatory Office on an annual basis. The scheme is expected to bring around 9.3 million tonnes of CO2 savings per year. We talked about this with the vice president of COGEN Czech, the Czech CHP association.
