Green Electricity Act (Ökostromgesetz)

Tariff subsidisation is regulated by the national Green Electricity Act (Ökostromgesetz). The latest amendment to the Green Electricity Act came into force on 20^th October 2009 (BGBl. I Nr. 104/2009).
The amendment stipulates that only PV systems with a peak output of more than 5 kW will continue to receive tariff subsidisation according to the Green Electricity Act. Photovoltaic systems with less peak output power will be subsidised under the Climate and Energy Fund instead of receiving tariff subsidisation. The previous co-financing scheme with the states was dropped. Valid feed-in tariffs are defined in the Green Electricity by-law.
