Transition to renewable energy

Photovoltaic installations and mechanisms introducing and regulating energy credit
To date, the photovoltaic installations in the territory of the Republic of San Marino are 1,507 (distributed among small businesses and private users), for a total installed capacity of 11.8 MW. 1278 installations, for a total capacity of 10.3 MW, benefit from the net metering mechanism, while 229 installations, for a total capacity of 1.5 MW, benefit from the special net metering mechanism introduced in 2012 (Delegated Decree no. 84/2012). Based on both mechanisms, the owners of photovoltaic installations can receive energy credit for the electricity produced by their photovoltaic systems, which is however not used and thus is fed into the public electricity grid. Such energy credit must be used within the following calendar year.
The special mechanism allows you to use other areas on which ownership or surface rights can be exercised, not necessarily within the land lot where electricity is drawn, in order to meet your energy needs, by feeding energy into other places: indeed, the special net metering mechanism is a concrete response to those who, living in blocks of flats, would in most cases be unable to generate and use clean energy produced by a photovoltaic system.
