Abbreviated form of legal source
DL 76/2019
Procedure
Grid development plans and investments are conceived by both transmission operator (REN) and distribution system operators via a 5-year investment plan. However, if producers are willing to invest in the improvement of grid infrastructure so as to better accommodate their projects, they can do so by entering into an agreement with the distribution operator, in which producers state their willingness to bear the costs arising from the renovations and constructions in the grid (art. 5 of DL 76/2019).
System operators must always choose solutions that minimise environmental impacts and incur less costs to the electricity system (art. 16 of DL 76/2019).
