Feed-in tariff drawers (KEV)

The feed-in tariff (KEV) is a federal instrument used to promote electricity production from renewable energies. KEV guarantees producers a price based on their production costs. The KEV supports the following technologies, with no new projects being included in the funding: Hydropower (up to 10 megawatts MW), photovoltaics, wind energy, geothermal energy, biomass and waste from biomass. The KEV is financed by the grid surcharge, which is paid by all electricity consumers per kilowatt hour consumed.
