The Government of the Netherlands has launched the autumn round of its renewable support scheme, named SDE+, with a budget of €5bn for autumn 2019. Support is available for technologies providing renewable electricity (biomass, geothermal, hydro, wind and solar), renewable gas and renewable heat or a combination of renewable heat and electricity (CHP).
The SDE+ autumn 2019 round (from 29 October to 14 November) is carried out in three stages, with projects with power generation costs up to €9c/kWh (€6.4c/kWh for renewable gas) in phase 1 to the capped price of €13c/kWh (€9.2c/kWh for renewable gas) in phase 3, which is the maximum base amount for SDE+ subsidies in 2019. During the opening of the SDE+, applicants will have the option to submit their projects in the so-called free category.
From 2020, the SDE+ scheme will be reshaped to become the SDE++ that will provide financial support under the form a sliding feed-in premiums, instead a the current feed-in tariffs.
The Netherlands aims at achieve a 16% share of renewable energy in its mix by 2023. The SDE+ scheme will run until at least 2020.
