The country’s Federal Network Agency, the Bundesnetzagentur, will close the bidding process for the next round on 2 November 2018. Bids must be below 8.75 euro cents per kWh in order to be eligible.
Proposed installations in areas that already have a high penetration of renewable energy will be subject to a surcharge to cover the additional cost of their integration and distribution on those grids. The intention is to increase the likelihood of winning capacity being added outside of these areas.
