Résumé This Decree-Law approves the Regulation on the Special and Transitional Regime for Energy Acquisition from Renewable Sources. This Regulation aims at allowing independent production of renewable energy in an exceptional regime, until the consolidation of a definitive legal framework for the sector. It applies specifically to renewable electric energy projects eligible under the Council Resolution of Ministers No. 29/2019 of 26 September, and to promoters that enter into agreement with the Government in this sector and which hold places assigned by the State or the Government of the Autonomous Region of Príncipe for the purpose of installing the power generation plants, and aiming at promoting efficiency, reducing the use of fossil fuels and overcoming the current energy crisis. The exercise of the energy production activity depends on the granting of an authorization establishing the legal regime for the exercise of the production activity. The public or private property of the State assigned to the activity of producing electricity from renewable sources must be assigned by entering into a contract with the public entity empowered for the purpose under the Law.
