Use of the grid

Abbreviated form of legal sources

ELTS

Priority to renewable energy

Statutory law does not give priority to renewable energy. The grid operator has to respect the principle of non-discrimination when providing grid services to the market participants (Art 65 par. 2 ELTS).

Curtailment

Due to technical reasons or in order to guarantee stability in supply, the transmission system operator may oblige the plant operators to increase or reduce the output of their plants (Art 40 par. 2 ELTS). There is no special regulation concerning renewable energy regarding curtailment.
