🇬🇧 English

This amendment to the existing regulation removes the phrase "required for the facilities" from Article 10 of the original regulation. More significantly, it introduces a temporary article that allows the Energy Market Regulatory Board (EPDK) to issue urgent expropriation decisions for immovable properties under private ownership needed for electricity generation activities based on renewable energy sources. Upon application by unlicensed/licensed private legal entities, and if deemed appropriate, the Board may decide on urgent expropriation under the provisional Article 33 of Law No. 6446. Subsequent procedures after the court's urgent seizure decision follow the relevant provisions of the law. The regulation entered into force on the date of its publication, 5 March 2026.
