“Regulation on the change of the quantitative share of the sum of electricity resulting from redeemed certificates of origin confirming the production of electricity from renewable energy sources in 2022” was signed by the Minister of Climate and Environment, and then published in the Journal of Laws. The regulation will enter into force after 14 days.
Compared to 2021, the share size for the so-called green certificates from 19.5% to 18.5%, while for the so-called blue certificates it was maintained at the level of 0.5%.
The indicated level of the obligation results from the need to ensure the maintenance of stable and predictable conditions for the operation of the RES market for producers participating in the certificates of origin system. This will contribute to reducing the operating costs of this system borne by end users, including energy-intensive customers.
In the case of a similar regulation setting the amount of the obligation for the next calendar year or years, it should be taken into account that another correction will be introduced, which will ensure a gradual reduction of the oversupply of certificates of origin.
