Mandatory replacement of mandatory procurement components or "OIK" with "green certificates", but during the transition period, the subsidized energy tax should be reinstated. On Wednesday, August 1, such a proposal will be discussed at the last meeting by the Minister of Economic Affairs, Arwil Asheraden ("Unity"), to liquidate the OIC. For the unpopular OIC system to be abandoned, the Ministry of Economy (EM) intends to take various other measures, however, members of the working group differ in their points of view. view of the results. The Latvian Minister of Economic Affairs has not yet commented on the liquidation plan of Oseradens OIK as it still has to be approved by the working group on Wednesday.

The state buys electricity under mandatory public procurement However, these costs are borne by all end users of electricity in proportion to their consumption of electricity. electricity as payment of the OIK
The size of the OCI is influenced by the price of natural gas, the price of electricity b electricity consumption and & [[[[[[[[[[[[[energyAsof2018theOICsystemhasbeenchanged-thepre-electricityconsumerpaymentistiedtotheenergyconsumedasthespecifictariffforeachkilowatt-hourconsumedSincethisyeartheICOpaysbothafixedrateforeachkilowatt-hourconsumed-andthistaxhasdecreased-anda"powerOICforamps"whichisafixedrateforconnectioncapacityThehighertheconnectioncapacitythehigherthefixedload
- In the first place, the working group recommends the renewal of the subsidized energy tax for electricity producers participating in compulsory public contracts. In this way, some of the burden of the OIC will be transferred to the shoulders of the manufacturers.
- Secondly, it is planned to reduce the internal profit margin of the supported stations in order to make the state less paid for the electricity produced.
- Third, the OIC electricity costs could be included in the electricity transmission tariff. This means that consumers will still have to pay for the operation of large power plants
At the same time, stations to which participation licenses may be canceled will continue to be solicited
"From our point of view there are good things to be done, "says Janis Endziņš, chairman of the Board of the Latvian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LTRK), one of the members of the work, which states that the ministry's plan to replace OIK from the so-called The "green certificates" mechanism
"There are more questions than answers: countries that use green certificates are important markets, we have a small market, some countries refuse this approach.It is difficult to badess for now whether the end result will increase or decrease payments In any case, the green certificate the rod is the support mechanism, only the 39 other, "Srieda Endziņš
" Green Certificates "would be mandatory for electricity traders of electricity producers who will still participate in the compulsory purchase in 2021. As a result," l & # 39; "green energy" would still be paid for by electricity consumers.
"I am among those who categorically oppose the introduction of such a system, I would prefer not to comment on this because I consider it useless, useless and expensive. Inclusion of "green certificates" in the OIK liquidation plan denotes a lack of ideas in SE In general, the Ozolins team positively badesses the work carried out, but it will be difficult to implement the recommendations
"The proposals that have been discussed are quite controversial and hinder the work of the members of the working group and a large number of measures must be co-ordinated with d." other institutions. Ozoliņš.
MOE calculated that by implementing all the measures under consideration, electricity consumers would save on electricity payments over the next four years. Up to 100 million euros
All legislative acts for the dissolution of the OEEC must be prepared by the ministry before 1 September, but the next Saeima will probably decide necessary changes to be made to the laws
found that several companies could have been deceived with electronic licenses The companies have not completed projects at the time, but have retained their licenses by providing electricity to a generator during the test as Sadales tíkls
then asked to review all the electricity production permits that the state was preparing to buy at a high price. several companies have been revoked. Some companies have started or promise to challenge the ministry's decision to revoke permits, but the department is not surprised and ready to defend its positions.
The big debate and depression were also caused by the increase in electricity bills. Green energy components for installed capacities. Following these discussions, the Minister of Economic Affairs, Arvulis Aseraden, also proposed to put in place a plan for the abolition of the Compulsory Purchasing Component (OCI) by 1 August.
