Reference market prices
Reference market price pursuant to Article 15 REO
Reference market prices are used to determine the feed-in premium (KEV) for eligible electricity-generating installations.
Since 1 January 2026, the quarterly reference market price and the national harmonised price have been aligned pursuant to Article 15 paragraph 1 of the Energy Act (EnA). The latter is applied when the grid operator and the producer cannot agree on a remuneration rate for renewable electricity.
Reference market prices for the sliding market premium under Article 30aquinquies REO
The reference market price determines the sliding market premium amount, which is the difference between the remuneration rate and the reference market price. The calculation is based on the reference market price under Article 15 of the Renewable Energy Ordinance (REO), plus a price for guarantees of origin.
