The deadlines for the implementation of power plant projects that have the right to mandatory takeover or subsidies in the form of premiums without tenders in accordance with the government’s decision from 2017 will be extended until June 30, 2023, in case the deadline expires between July 1, 2021 and July 31, 2023.
