The free discussion once again started with the call for legislative changes in the sector. The focus this time was on financing, as an opportunity to expand actions in the RES sector. A council member expressed his opinion that the private sector, in order to increase its efficiency, needs to attract and increase investment. For this purpose, new market promotion policies need to be outlined to enable and stimulate new solutions in the sector, while at the same time protecting consumers and system security.
Those present at the council are of the opinion that only through a broad approach to stimulate the development of the market, investment obstacles will be removed and the sector will fully develop its potential. Thus, our country will successfully participate in the implementation of Europe's plan to reduce greenhouse emissions.
