Incentives for SHP in some countries of LA&C Country
Argentina
Bolivia
Brazil
Acts / Incentive Programs
Type
National Act on the promotion of renewable energy for electricity production (Act 26 190 /06) Electricity Supply Program to Rural Dispersed Population in Argentina. Establish provincial energy programs for rural electrification, mainly using photovoltaic, wind, micro hydro turbines and diesel generators. The most recent policy on renewable energy was established in early 2010, when Argentina had implemented incentive in the tariffs for granting power purchase agreements (PPA) for renewable energy. Includes mini hydro projects. A Rural Electrification Decree was approved in 2005 (Supreme Decree No. 28 of 567), which aims to increase rural electrification through renewable energy development and a change in the energy mix
F
B F
Hydropower program. Designed by UMSA is dedicated to developing technologies to use water resources. Its goal is to get technology packages developed in different research projects, ready to be transferred to the end users, preferably rural population.
B
The current Act 10438/02 helped to the Incentive Program for Alternative Electricity Generation (PROINFAProgramma Fonres Incentive Alternatives), which aims to encourage the involvement of Mini Hydro Power to the national grid.
C
Free energy trading allowing producers to sell energy directly to consumers through the network at a rate of 50% discount to use the network (Act No. 9648).
A, B
Exemption of the financial compensation for the use of resources (Act No. 7990-No. 9427)
Chile
F
Renewable Energy Electricity Act and Electricity Short Acts I and II. which proclaims the following: a) the free transit of the energy through the network for plants with installed capacity under 9 MW and the proportionate share of transit for plants between 9 MW and 20 MW, b) The electricity distribution companies must purchase the energy generated for all kinds of small plants and the price is set periodically by the Ministry of Energy.
