ANRE / ENERGY / 2026

A 100 MW project, three gates, no universal total.

ANRE's 2026 materials place guarantees at three different moments: connection, capacity allocation and establishment authorisation. At 100 MW, two formulas produce €2 million and €3 million only in conditional scenarios. The third depends on the connection tariff. For developers, lenders and public-policy readers, the useful route is to check which stage and project class activates each formula.

THE SHORT ANSWER

Three gates are not three mandatory invoices. Each has a different base, timing and exceptions. This page separates verifiable figures from the amount we cannot calculate without a tariff and a project class.

See the three bases
01 THE SHORT ANSWER

A guarantee tracks a threshold, not one story.

In ANRE's sources, the three values use incompatible units. One is a share of a tariff, one is an amount per MW requested for allocation, and one is an amount per installed kW. Adding them without conditions would hide the information a reader needs.

For the 100 MW example, this page shows formulas, not an invoice. The useful question is: which stage are you at, and which document triggers the guarantee?

Recalculate the example
  1. 01
    Connection

    20% of the tariff excluding VAT in the relevant branches above 1 MW.

  2. 02
    Allocation

    €20,000 for each MW of capacity requested in the 2026 procedure.

  3. 03
    Authorisation

    €30 for each installed kW, with exceptions and scope conditions.

02 THREE GATES

The same investment can meet different bases.

A formula becomes relevant only after you know what is being requested, at which stage, and which project category applies.

A hypothetical project cardnot a quote
01
Connectiontariff excluding VAT · relevant branch > 1 MW

02
Allocation in 2026requested capacity · BNR exchange rate on issue
20,000 / MW
03
Establishment authorisationinstalled power in the ATR · eligible application
30 / kW
The units stay separate until the application says they apply. T is the connection tariff excluding VAT; the sources do not give a universal value for it.

NEXT QUESTION What do these formulas show if we keep only the hypothetical 100 MW capacity?

03 DETERMINISTIC CALCULATION

Change the capacity, not the conditions.

The slider applies only the published formulas to a hypothetical capacity. It does not decide eligibility and it does not automatically add guarantees together.

The example uses whole MW. For authorisation, the formula converts MW to kW.

ASSUMPTION100 MW
AUTHORISATION€30/kW30 × MW × 1,000
€3,000,000
ALLOCATION 2026€20,000/MW20,000 × MW requested
€2,000,000
CONNECTION20% × TT = tariff excluding VAT
0.20 × T
This is not a total. The two amounts are conditional, and T is not supplied. The instruments can have different creation and release points.

NEXT QUESTION Which exception or deadline can take one gate out of the scenario?

04 EXCEPTIONS AND TIMING

A number without its exceptions is half a rule.

Order 16/2026 and the August draft procedure do not treat every project the same way. This is where the baseline rule meets the actual path.

A

Contracts for difference

A good-performance guarantee under a contract for difference can substitute for the authorisation guarantee for the beneficiary project's entire installed capacity.

ANRE framework exception · check the applicable text
B

Repowering and storage

The current Order treats repowering without increased power as an exception. Storage added at the same site appears in the August draft procedure, not as a final rule.

Do not extend the proposal to every battery or extension
C

Timing matters

The authorisation guarantee follows completion and the reception record. The consulted procedure also describes updates for extensions.

A procedural obligation is not a delay estimate
D

Allocation can be released

The allocation participation guarantee has its own return point, while the 1% payment guarantee is separate. Do not treat either as the same guarantee that remains until reception.

Different stages · different guarantees
05 LIMITS ON THE CONCLUSION

What these three figures cannot tell you.

You can check a formula's base. You cannot infer how much capital is committed, financing cost or one identical rule for every developer.

A guarantee may be constituted through a bank instrument, insurance or a transfer, depending on the applicable framework. The calculator figures are nominal and conditional. They are not money paid, executed or held at the same time.
