Remuneration for electricity produced by renewable sources is guaranteed by feed-in tariffs in accordance with the Grand Ducal Regulation of 1 August 2014 and the Grand Ducal Regulation of 12 April 2019.
Different techniques enable electricity and/or heat to be produced from renewable sources. Each case is entitled to tariffs defined in the legislation:
1. Wind power
| Tariff | 92 × (1-(n-2014) × 0.25/100) €/MWh |
Where: n = calendar year of start of electricity feed-in
Wind installations with a nominal capacity of more than 3 MW (or three production units) benefit from market premiums.
2. Photovoltaics
Benefit now from attractive feed-in tariffs for the electricity you produce and feed back into the electricity grid! The new feed-in tariff is valid for 15 years from the initial feed-in.
Installations with a nominal capacity of more than 500 kW can benefit from a market premium in the context of calls for tender.
3. Hydroelectric power

Where: n = calendar year of start of electricity feed-in
An additional heat premium of up to EUR 30 per MWh of marketed heat can be granted, in accordance with the conditions defined by the regulations.
5. Gases from sewage treatment plants
| Installations that have received aid under Art. 65 of the amended Law of 19 December 2008 on water | 65 × (1-(n-2014) × 0.25/100) €/MWh |
| Other installations | 120 × (1-(n-2014) × 0.25/100) €/MWh |
Where: n = calendar year of start of electricity feed-in
An additional heat premium of up to EUR 30 per MWh of marketed heat can be granted, in accordance with the conditions defined by the regulations.
6. Solid biomass

| nominal electrical power > 10 MW | 90 × (1-(n-2019) × 0.25/100) €/MWh |
Where: n = calendar year of start of electricity feed-in
An additional heat premium of up to EUR 30 per MWh of marketed heat can be granted, in accordance with the conditions defined by the regulations.
7. Waste wood
Feed-in tariffs available for waste wood
| Power class | Tariff |
|---|---|
| nominal electrical power ≤ 1 MW | 138 × (1-(n-2014) × 0.25/100) €/MWh |

| nominal electrical power > 10 MW | 80 × (1-(n-2019) × 0.25/100) €/MWh |
Where: n = calendar year of start of electricity feed-in
An additional heat premium of up to EUR 30 per MWh of marketed heat can be granted, in accordance with the conditions defined by the regulations.
8. High efficiency cogeneration
The electrical energy fed into the grid by the cogeneration plant shall be remunerated in accordance with the Grand Ducal Regulation of 26 December 2012 on the generation of electricity based on high-efficiency cogeneration.
9. Feeding biogas into the natural gas network
Feed-in tariffs available for the introduction of biogas into the natural gas network
| Conditions | Tariff |
|---|---|
| First feed-in took place before 1 January 2012 | €0.065/kWh (GCV) |
| First feed-in took place before 1 January 2014 | €0.0625/kWh (GCV) |
| First feed-in took place after 1 January 2014 and before 1 January 2017 | €0.08/kWh (GCV) |
The kWh corresponding to the gross calorific value (GCV) of the biogas fed in.
The legislation defines the feed-in tariffs and regulates the marketing of biogas. Biogas producers must be registered with the ILR and comply with the regulations of this Institution.
