- Bidding Rules for Heat Producers
Priority to renewable energy
Statutory law states that priority concerning access to the grid is given to the producer providing the best offer. However, when possible, heat produced from renewable energy sources or heat produced in CHP power plants from RES or from waste, peat or heat from oil shale gas and best available environmentally friendly technology should be preferred (Art 13 par. 2 Bidding Rules for Heat Producers).
Curtailment
Curtailment is not regulated by law for normal instances. However, in the case of danger to the life, health or property of persons or to the environment, a network operator is entitled to interrupt a network connection to the customer or another network operator without giving any advance notice (Art 17 District Heating Act).
