Increase of biomethane feed-in tariffs
Good news for producers
On June 13, 2023, the French government published three new pieces of legislation that significantly increase biomethane feed-in tariffs. Those measures were eagerly awaited by the biomethane industry and are expected to have a boosting impact on incoming projects numbers, which should help France achieve its 2030 renewable energy target.
To sum up
- New biomethane feed-in tariffs increase by 15%
- An annual energy efficiency bonus for biogas self-consumption is created
- A penalty on the feed-in tariff is created for producers that consume too much electricity (more than 15% of the energy produced)
- Feed-in tariffs can now be updated twice a year
- Electricity price inflation is now part of the updating feed-in tariffs formula
- The maximal production capacity can now be updated every 12 months
