VREG provides a 4 step process for obtaining green certificates (GSC) for solar installations in Flanders:
1) Complete required tests before and after installation. Tests ensure safe installation and proper production measurement.
2) Register the installation with VREG within 1 year of commissioning to start receiving GSC from the commissioning date.
3) Register the installation with the grid administrator to connect to the grid and allow GSC sales.
4) For installations over 10kW, owners must report monthly production to VREG. VREG issues GSC at the end of each month.
The new energy decree will change the minimum support amounts per GSC and shorten the support periods, with support decreasing

Project on SOFC system in a multi-family householdRosa De Maio

The aim of the project is to analyze, considering the energy and economic aspects, the SOFC technology for a multi - family household and if necessary to hypothesize subsidies
Anglian Water and Connected Energy worked together on a project to understand how to maximise the potential of renewable energy projects and offer grid services support by integrating E-STOR energy storage systems on sites.
Anglian Water's aim was to make the most of storing energy generated from their renewable sources, like the solar panels they plan to install across the region. Integrating batteries into these projects would ensure more of the renewable power is used onsite.
The installed system also took advantage of any time of day energy costs differences and assessed the potential for the system to supply energy grid services at further Anglian Water sites.

Explaining recent renewable energy auction outcomes in Europe Leonardo ENERGY
Recent record-low auction prices for renewables in Europe have made the news. But what is behind them and why are there such differences between countries? This webinar analyses and compares recent auction outcomes for PV, wind onshore and wind offshore in different European Member States and discusses lessons learnt. The analysis builds on Ecofys market insights and country case studies conducted within the AURES project (Auctions for Renewable Energy Support in the EU).

4. 4 steps
1. Tests
2. Register with the VREG
3. Register with the grid administrator
4. Communicate production to the VREG
5. 1) Always: AREI-test
• Before startup of the installation
– Check whether it is safe to start
– No GSC for possible production before AREI-test
– Consumption is included in the report
• Set date of commissioning
– Minimum support and start 20 or 15 years
6. > 111 kWp: green electricity test
• After startup and installation production meter
– Checks if production is being measured correctly
7. Importance of tests: start
certificates
• PV ≤ 111 kW (= 100.000 kWh/year)
– From date AREI test
– ≤ 10 kW: start = consumption at AREI-test(0 kWh)
– Registration VREG max 1 year after commisioning
– Otherwise, GSC from moment of registration
" PV > 111 kW
– From date full green electricity testing report
8. 2) Registering with the VREG
• Forms and explanation on www.vreg.be >
zonnepanelen > wat na plaatsing? > aanmelden
bij de VREG
• Special forms for
– PV < 10 kW (online, new version end of March)
– PV > 10 kW (on paper)
9. Selling to DNB
• Account number visible to DNB
• Automatic sales
• Right after setting up GSC
• Fastest way to receive money
• No automatic sales?
• Only for installations > 10 kW
• When guarantees originally need to be handed in to
the supplier
• Add explanation to the registration application
10. 3) Registering with grid
administrator
• > 10 kW: connection-research beforehand
– Contact the administrator on time
" ≤ 10 kW: register connection afterwards
– PVZ-number from the VREG will be necessary
11. Registering with grid
administrator
• Connection conditions differ between DNB’s
– Usually: AREI-test, application form, single line
diagram and attest of the inverters
• DNB checks: date commissioning at VREG at
least matches date AREI-test, consumption
equals consumption AREI-test.
• If ok: DNB indicates this in the VREG database
– “Technical ok”
– Without this indication no GSC can be sold to
minimum support
12. Registering with grid
administrator
• How?
– www.eandis.be > Milieu > Zonnepanelen > Melding
van een lokale productie =< 10 kVA op een bestaande
aansluiting
– www.infrax.be > Ik heb zonnepanelen > Meld uw
installatie bij Infrax
– www.pbe.be > Rationeel energiegebruik > Groene
stroom > PV cellen
– Other administrators: contact
13. 4) Communicating production to
VREG: installations > 10 kW
• Production meter of the grid administrator
• NB reports monthly to VREG
– Middle of the next month
• VREG produces cerftificates on a montly
basis
– End of subsequent month
– Afterwards sale and possibly send invoice
• New cases: reporting needs to be started
– Can take a month more
14. Installations ≤ 10 kW
• Owner gains access to database
– Username and password
• Complements consumption
– Per 1.000 kWh additional
– Automatic verification on feasability
• Certificates automatically sold to DNB
16. Evolution capacity and number
of installations
• Status 20 March 2011, stats not definitive
• Adopted in 2010, case to be processed
17. Number of granted GSC
• See website: www.vreg.be >
Energiemarkt > Statistieken > Groene
stroom
18. Changes Energy decree
Vlaamse Reguleringsinstantie voor de Elektriciteits- en Gasmarkt
19. Status
• Design decree under consideration in Flemish
parliament
• Hearing ongoing
• Changes in text still possible
• After approval to be publicised in Belgian State
Paper
– Changes are put into effect on the date of publication
20. What will change? An overview
• Minimum support:
– Faster descent (every 3 months)
– Depends on the capacity and electricity-use
– Used on the spot or injectio?
• Expansions
– Different price ⇒ seperate meter mandatory
– Was already applied this way
– Not every expansion receives minimum support
21. Peak capacity at 1 access point ≤ 1 MW

24. More/less than 50% injected?
• Based on expectations for first year after
commissioning
– So clear defenition of minimum support on the
moment of application
• VREG requests use at access point of the last
three years at DNB
– Applicant can prove this himself, when the last 3
years are no accurate reference (for example:
company expansion)).
• Estimated production: 900 kWh/kWp/year
25. No minimum support when
expansion meets 4 conditions:
• Commissioned after 1 april 2011?
• One access point
• Less than 2 years sinds commissiong original
installation or last expansion
• Total peak capacity after expansion > 10 kWp
– So no issue for private customers
