Key Elements of the Draft Law:

- Clearly defined national targets for increasing the share of renewable energy sources (RES) in gross energy consumption.
- Introduction of a new financial mechanism—“Two-way Contract for Difference”—which ensures revenue stability and predictability for renewable energy producers while protecting consumers from extreme price fluctuations.
- Legal regulation of net metering and net billing, enabling more efficient use and distribution of electricity generated by households and businesses.
- Support for long-term investments and accelerated development of RES in the heating, cooling, and transportation sectors.
- Regional cooperation and integration of renewable energy sources into energy markets, with guarantees of energy origin.
- Obligations for sustainability and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
- Clearer rules for establishing renewable energy communities—groups of citizens, companies, or legal entities voluntarily united to promote collective local production and consumption of renewable energy, aiming to achieve environmental, economic, or social benefits for the community or municipality.

With this new law, the Ministry places the use of renewable energy sources at the heart of national energy policy, linking economic development, ecology, social justice, and European integration. Among the most significant innovations in the law is the introduction of a new European-level financial mechanism—the so-called Two-way Contract for Difference.

This mechanism will provide:
- Financial stability for investors,
- Limitation of excessive profits during high price periods,
- Guaranteed minimum compensation for producers,
- Protection of end consumers from unstable market prices.

FULL REGULATION OF “NET METERING” AND “NET BILLING”

For the first time, the draft law regulates methods for managing surplus generated energy:
- Net metering: Surplus energy is transferred as an energy deposit for the next period.
- Net billing: Surplus energy is calculated in monetary value and used to reduce bills in subsequent periods.
