Abbreviated form of legal source
- Law 24/2013
- RD 1955/2000
Description of the process
When the RE installation is already built, project developers shall apply for an electricity production license, also called commissioning certificate (article 53, Law 24/2013). Without this certificate the plant cannot start feeding electricity into the grid.
The project developer shall apply for the license accompanying a certificate of completion of the work signed by a competent technician (RD 1955/2000).
For rooftop PV the regulation can vary according to the Autonomous Communities, but generally an exploitation license is not required when the self-consumption units up to 100 kW of installed power. In these cases, the installer of the unit will issue a certificate of the installation instead.
