 Sixty percent of electricity generation in Chile is based on imported fossil fuels (mostly natural gas that was imported from Argentina until they started to close the gas tap in 2004) and 40 percent on domestic hydropower.
-Besides its capacity to greatly expand the use of hydro power, Chile also has non-conventional '''renewable energy (RE) '''resources with considerable potential that the Chilenian government plans to use also as a means of security for energy supply. Until the start of the joint project the private sector had invested in this area only in a few isolated instances, especially since unresolved technical and legal issues have made supplying power to the electric grid difficult. In the liberalised electricity market, renewable energies must also compete economically with conventional energy sources.<br/>The [http://www.giz.de/en/ GTZ] project started in 2004 and supports non-conventional renewables to gain a more significant role in maintaining a sustainable electricity supply in Chile. Political acceptance and the investment climate for supplying the grid with electricity generated from renewable sources have been improved and the number of projects to be implemented is rising rapidly.<br/>The project provides the '''[http://www.cne.es/cne/Home Comisión Nacional de Energia (CNE)]''', (the body responsible for regulating, preparing and implementing energy policy) with advisory services on creating favourable conditions for electricity generation from non-conventional renewable energy sources. This includes regulation of grid access, integration into the electricity market, and development of expansion strategies and promotional instruments for renewable energies. This resulted in a law that obliges power distributers to offer a growing part of their electricity from renewable energies (starting with 5% in 2010, aim for 2014: 10%) and fines them if they don´t provide the adequate amount.<br/>A second priority area is the removal of structural market constraints hindering the rapid expansion of renewables in Chile. These include, besides lack of knowledge about energy resources and their geographical distribution, lack of experience with planning and approval procedures and with grid connection.<br/>The project supports investigation of the technical and economic energy potential in the wind energy, biomass and biogas sectors. To facilitate planning and approval procedures, guidelines for project planning and environmental impact studies are being prepared for the respective renewable energy technologies.<br/>Results: The new regulations improve the economic and legal conditions for RE projects and facilitate entry into the market for new actors and investors. At present, more than 45 projects with a total capacity of about 1280 MW have the status of legal approbation, are in planning or already in construction (mini hydropower plants, wind energy plants, biomass/biogas plants, geothermic projects).

-'''Feed-in tariffs (FIT)'''[[Power_Purchase_Agreement_(PPA)_-_Wind_Energy|Power purchasing agreements (PPA)]]are bilateral contracts between the producer and the grid / system operator.<br/>FITs are typically used to incentivize the production of electricity on the basis of renewable energy (RE-FIT). FIT set a price, other incentive schemes set a quantity (quota regulation), markets react accordingly (...)<br/>
+= Overview<br/> =
-FIT allows decentralised electricity production by private entities (i.e. independent power producers, IPPs).<br/>Selling electricity into a (national) grid is often strongly restricted. FIT allows such with fixed procedures for a fixed price. It thereby creates reliable conditions for potential investors. This is specially demanded for small power production facilities. Those can provide decentralized electricity production and effective use of available resources (e.g. hydro-, wind-, biomass-, thermal heat or solar power plants).
+Currently, in most renewable energy support schemes, the level of FIT is determined on the basis of a calculation of the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) produced from renewable energy. This allows the renewable energy investor to recover the different costs (capital, O&M, fuel, financing) while realizing a return on his investment that depends on the assumed financing costs. In some cases, FIT have been calculated on the basis of avoided costs for the electricity system or the society, including e.g. environmental externalities. Thirdly, it is also possible to determine the FIT level by means of a tendering mechanism.
