  • The government has launched the first stage of a process to help households instal solar panels to heat water, thus helping keep energy costs low for lower-income families.
  • Also, in September, a draft law was tabled, “On promoting the use of energy from renewable sources,” which is expected to replace the current law of 2017, creating spaces for a more flexible treatment of self-producers of energy from renewable sources.
  • As well as allowing more flexibility by measuring annually, it will also give small producers the right to sell surplus energy at a fair market rate, not a rate set by the energy authorities.
