The market is fully liberalised and generation and retail activities are fully unbundled from regulated grids. As of 2016 the RES levy is assessed per MW of reserved capacity instead of per MWh of consumption. Renewable generation is expected to exceed 14% by 2020 and 24% by 2040, mainly driven by hydro, PV and biogas. Interconnection capacity with neighbouring countries is extensive - 5 800MW export, 3 800MW import.
