What are feed-in tariffs?
Feed-in tariffs (FITs) are financial incentives offered to individuals or businesses that generate electricity from renewable sources, such as solar power, wind power, or hydroelectric power, and sell it back to the grid. FITs aim to encourage the production of clean energy and help reduce dependence on fossil fuels.
Feed-in tariffs provide long-term contracts with guaranteed payments for the electricity generated and fed into the grid. The rates offered are typically higher than market prices to compensate for the initial investment and operational costs involved in setting up renewable energy systems.
How does Enel’s feed-in tariff program work?
Enel’s feed-in tariff program is designed to incentivize the adoption of renewable energy systems by their customers. When a customer installs a renewable energy system, such as solar panels, on their property and produces electricity, they have the opportunity to sell the excess energy back to the grid.
Enel offers a fixed rate per kilowatt-hour (kWh) of electricity generated, based on the type of renewable energy system and its capacity. The rates are determined by Enel and may vary depending on the region and prevailing market conditions. These rates remain fixed for a specific period, typically lasting for several years.
What are the benefits of Enel’s feed-in tariffs?
Enel’s feed-in tariffs offer several benefits to customers who invest in renewable energy systems:
