The definitive list of the benefits of residential consumers who are entitled to a refund on their accounts through the 1% fee withheld from wind farms for the production of 2020 was posted on the relevant online application by DEDDEEas informed today by Hellenic Wind Energy Scientific Association (ELETAEN)

Anyone interested can use the link https://apps.deddie.gr/OnePerCentReturnsRES/pages/index.htmlto choose “Final List of Beneficiaries of the 1% RES Special Fee for 2020”to fill in the details of his provision and find out if he is entitled to a discount on his electricity bill. The posting of this information by DEDDIE was one of the last steps required for the actual crediting of the discount to the beneficiaries.

As the Union states, this discount is one of the benefits that wind farms offer to local communities. Specifically, according to the legislation, 3% of the turnover of the wind farms is automatically withheld and attributed on the one hand to the Municipalities for the execution of local projects and on the other hand to the residents of the villages hosting the wind farms. The total amount to be distributed is 10.7 million euros.

ELETAEN also congratulates the Ministry of the Interior, the DEDDIE and their relevant officials for completing this process. He acknowledges that various problems, such as indicative disputes about the boundaries of the settlements, objections, etc., have until today caused significant delays in the return to the citizens of the amounts that have already been withheld from the wind farms. Now most of these problems have been solved thanks to the diligence of the competent services and therefore ELETAEN expects that from now on the payment of money will be made regularly and without delays.
