The Decree No. 449 established mechanism supports renewable electricity deployment through capacity markets. Selected renewable power projects receive capacity payments for a period of 15 years for maintaining readiness to generate electricity on demand. In the case when power plants will not be able to meet previously agreed availability requirements, their capacity remuneration levels will be reduced accordingly.

Auctions are being held on an annual basis to award these capacity remuneration contracts. For now, only wind, solar PV and small hydropower plants are eligible to participate and biomass is excluded from the support.

In order to be eligible to participate in the auctions, proposed projects must be equal to or exceed 5 MW; hydropower plants cannot be larger than 25 MW.

Contracts are awarded to projects with the lowest capital costs. Eligible proposals also have to comply with high local content requirements:

Projects selected through the auction system are to sign “Agreements for the Supply of Capacity” where the price level of RES capacity and the duration of capacity supply are specified. As mentioned above, the price for the RES capacity can be lowered in cases when the plant is unable to provide agreed power capacity.

The Decree No. 449 and the Art. 32 of the Federal Electricity Law guarantee priority purchase for the renewable power.

In order to control the increase of newly added renewable generation capacities, and thus the mechanism’s impact on electricity prices and the costs of the mechanism, the Resolution No. 861 of May 2013 has been adopted. The Resolution established yearly limits for new renewable generation capacity up to 2020 (expressed in MW):

Not Even Musk Has The Answer To AI’s Power Shortage

The White House issued a stark warning in July 2025: Without $1.4 trillion in new infrastructure investment, electricity prices could surge as much as 58% by 2030. That’s driven mostly by the insatiable power demand from the rise of AI data centers and cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. According to Axios, new reports show that power demand is set to grow up to 10x between now and 2030. The grid we’ve relied on for decades simply can't keep pace, and that’s threatening to put a major strain on both the AI and Bitcoin booms that have…

The Next Oil Rally Could Be Driven by Stockpile Buying

The war in the Middle East has cost the world over a billion barrels in cumulative supply losses. Yet luckily, China had built a reserve of about the same size before the closure of Hormuz, so it stopped buying so much oil, arresting the inevitable price jump. Now, everyone wants to build an oil reserve—or needs to replenish the ones they already have. Back in March, soon after the U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran began, prompting the latter to retaliate by closing the Strait of Hormuz, the International Energy Agency said it would release…

Ukraine's Refinery Strikes Push Russia Into a Fuel Crisis

After weeks of trying to downplay the impact of Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian refineries, the Kremlin acknowledged this weekend that Russia faces fuel shortages and a fuel crisis that needs further government intervention to solve. A few weeks ago, regional governors across Russia rushed to downplay the fuel crisis, seeking to assure residents that supply is tight only at limited gas stations and there is no need to panic about shortages. Apparently, this narrative couldn’t be contained for too long as Ukraine is stepping up attacks…

How the Hormuz Crisis Turned Southeast Asia Into a Solar Powerhouse

The United States and Iran have stepped back from the brink of all-out war, but the ceasefire that followed nearly four months of fighting is still being tested by flare-ups around the Strait of Hormuz. One outcome of the crisis, though, is already clear: the clean energy transition is speeding up, and shows no sign of slowing. The war is just the latest in a string of conflicts to send shockwaves through oil and gas markets in recent years, leaving global leaders increasingly wary of dependence on fossil fuel imports and underscoring the energy…

China's Coal Habit Is Outpacing Its Clean Energy Boom

A recent social media post from a meteorologist with a large following made a claim that deserves a closer look. The post argued that it is a myth that China is responsible for rapidly rising carbon dioxide emissions, and it has been shared hundreds of times. The following graphic attached to the post, from Our World in Data, showed annual carbon dioxide emissions by world region. It also showed something that undercut the claim: China’s emissions have surged this century and now represent the largest single-country contribution to annual…
