AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - The Dutch market regulator ACM on Wednesday said it is drawing up plans to charge electricity producers a tariff for supplying electricity to the grid for the first time, which it said has become necessary due to rising costs.
"It is important that the costs be divided equally among all users of the electric grid and that contributors and users abroad also pay for Dutch infrastructure," ACM management board member Manon Leijten said in a statement.
Under the current Dutch electric system, only users, not producers, bear the cost of the grid. The size of tariffs has not yet been determined, the ACM said. (This story has been corrected to clarify that the new tariff is not a 'feed-in tariff,' in the headline and in paragraph 1)
