The European renewables industry and politicians are alarmed about a plan by the European Commission to all but end the priority for renewables in the grid as part of an upcoming new Renewable Energy Directive.
A draft of the directive seen by Recharge states that “dispatching of power generation facilities and demand response shall be non-discriminatory and market based.”
It continues that member states may give renewables priority in their grids only for small installations of less than 500kW or demonstration projects.
