Costa Rica to issue tariffs for net-metering in February
5.01.2016: Costa Rica's utility regulator Autoridad Reguladora de los Servicios Públicos (ARESEP) will issue the tariffs for the net-metering scheme for solar installations in February. According to local financial newspaper El Financiero, ARESEP will issue the tariffs at which PV system owners will sell their electricity surplus to the country’s utilities Instituto Costarricense de Electricidad (ICE) and Compañía Nacional de Fuerza y Luz (CNFL). In August, Costa Rica’s Ministry of Environment, Energy and Telecommunications (MINAE) introduced a reform of the net-metering scheme aimed at making it easier to install a PV system under the program. Under the new legislation, homeowners and enterprises interested in installing a PV system under the scheme don’t have to require an authorization to ARESEP. According to Costa Rica’s government, the new scheme will support the development of residential and commercial PV segments. Costa Rica introduced a net-metering scheme for PV in April 2015. © PHOTON
