Document issued

This document aims to establish the requirements, criteria, procedures, methodologies and administrative, technical and commercial responsibilities, that must be fulfilled by the Electricity Distribution Companies and the natural or legal persons that have and / or plan the installation of renewable energy generation for Self-consumption connected to a distribution system. The specific objectives of the agreement are as following: 1) to regulate the generation of electrical energy destined exclusively for self-consumption, as well as the surpluses generated as a by-product of self-consumption; 2) to regulate the adoption of clean technologies (renewable sources) for the generation of electrical energy by Clients of Distribution Companies with generation facilities up to a maximum of five megawatts, 3) to ensure the safety of people and property associated with the generation connected in the electrical distribution system, 4) to establish mechanisms that offset the costs incurred in the distribution network. and. Guarantee the quality and continuity of supply for users connected to the distribution network, 5) to establish a mechanism that rewards the surplus energy injected into the network of each distributed generation unit, and 6) Define technical installation criteria for distributed generators. The agreement has to be understood within the context of the enactment of law no. 1011/2019, which amends art. 32 of law no 272/1998 on the electricity industry.

An aim to achieve a quantifiable outcome within a given time-frame, set by an institution such as a national government.

Policy instruments are techniques or tools used by governing authorities to promote certain policies in order to achieve predetermined goals. Put simply, instruments are how a government tries to achieve its goals, with this taxonomy being focused on national policy instruments.

Risk is the potential for adverse consequences resulting from the dynamic interplay between (climate-related) hazards, exposure, and vulnerability of affected human or ecological systems.

Groups  of people who are adversely affected by climate change or the response to it

A set of principles, processes, and practices that build economic and political power to shift from an extractive economy to a regenerative economy.

Renewable energy means all forms of energy produced from renewable sources in a sustainable manner.

Fossil fuel is a generic term for non-renewable energy sources such as coal, fossil gas, and oil (including crude oil, and petroleum products), that can be used for electricity and heat generation. Fossil fuels are hydrocarbons formed from pressurised and heated organic material buried over millions of years.

Molecules in the atmosphere that play a key role in the greenhouse effect by trapping heat radiating from Earth’s surface.

Area of the economy in which actors engage in identical or related activities.

In human systems, the process of adjustment to actual or expected climate change and its effects, in order to moderate harm, increase resilience or exploit beneficial opportunities. In natural systems, the process of adjustment to actual climate change and its effects; human intervention may facilitate adjustment to expected climate change and its effects.

The management and allocation of funds, assets and investments to meet various objectives

This sector involves the wholesale and retail selling of goods.

Any compulsory, unrequited payment to the government levied on corporations or individuals. This can be for environmental reasons, such as introducing a Carbon tax to set a price that emitters must pay for the greenhouse gases they emit.

Climate change can have a range of impacts on technological system. Extreme weather events can cause infrastructure failures like power outages or damage to roads and bridges, as well as the impacts from waste following natural disasters. Human activities also cause technological impacts, such as the risks posed by oil spillage and leaks.

Either money or something of monetary value is transferred between two or more organisations, people or countries.

Electrical energy generated from mechanical devices driven by flowing fresh water.

Activities that involve planning, designing and building infrastructure, residential, and commercial structures.

It’s especially vital in developing regions where everyday risks, climate-related weather extremes, or crop failures can push people into poverty. Without insurance, people may have to resort to selling assets or cutting consumption to cope with losses.

Codes and standards are regulatory instruments that specify minimum standards to protect health and safety. This ranges from performance standards, which prescribe outcomes while allowing flexibility to achieve compliance, to the more prescriptive approach of technology-specific standards.

Actions or measures to adapt freshwater systems to climate change.

Heat extracted from the ground, usually in the form of hot water or steam and typically referred to as hydrothermal fluid.

Activities of government agencies and institutions that provide public services, enforce laws and manage public resources.

A financial institution that manages a country's currency and can promote climate-related initiatives through green monetary policy and other means.

This sector involves activities to move goods and people, alongside the storage of products.
