Produce your own renewable energy
Consume wisely, produce wisely
Energy sales packages for producers are a great opportunity for solar park owners to earn additional income if
- You don't want to consume the produced electricity;
- The amount of output exceeds the consumption needs of your company, electricity is left over.
Being a small producer
If you sell electricity to Enefit under a small producer contract, the purchase price will be based on the Exchange package, based on Nord Pool power exchange prices minus the margin agreed in the contract. We also advise the small producer to choose the Variable package as a consumer contract package as in such a case both consumption and production take place under similar conditions.
How to produce electricity and sell it as a small producer?
1
Procure the production equipment
The production unit may be a solar panel, a wind turbine, or a generator.
2
Network contract
Sign a network contract and a small producer's subscription agreement.
3
Installment
Enefit will install and configure the equipment to measure the amount of energy consumed and returned to the grid.
4
Small producer energy contract
If you want to sell excess electricity back to the network, we will also sign a small producer energy contract with you.
5
Start production
An energy contract can only be concluded with the energy trader from whom you buy electricity for your own use. If you provide electricity to the network without an energy contract, the network operator will accept it for free. Upon termination of the electricity consumption contract with the energy trader, the energy contract will also terminate.
Being a large producer
You qualify as a large producer if you generate electricity for sale and the capacity of your generating installation exceeds 1000 kW. To sell electricity, it is necessary to connect the generating installation to the electricity network and enter into a network contract with the network operator.
To connect a generating installation with a capacity of less than 5 MW to the electricity network, we recommend contacting your local distribution network operator. To connect a generating installation with a capacity of over 5 MW to the electricity network, please contact the transmission network operator Elering.
If the capacity of the generating installation exceeds 1 MW, an activity licence for electricity production must be obtained from the Competition Authority.
How to sell electricity to the network as a large producer?
To sell electricity to Enefit as a large producer, you must first enter into a contract. Electricity purchase prices are influenced by the CO₂ market price, the amount of electricity bought and the accuracy of its forecast.
If you supply electricity to the network without a sales contract, the network operator will accept it free of charge.
