An additional annual quota was also introduced to support businesses that generate energy from alternative sources, starting in 2024, and a schedule of pilot auctions that will take place this year to allocate the quota to power generating facilities was also confirmed.

The annual support subsidy is set at 110 MW, of which 11 MW is for solar power plants, 88 MW for wind power plants, and 11 MW for other types of alternative energy sources. 

The first power generation facilities commissioned as a result of the pilot auctions are expected to start supplying electricity to the grid in 2025.
