In particular, one will analyze the changes introduced in feed in tariff by decree-law 215-b/2012 and the development of the new regimes by regulation n. 243/2023, of august the 2nd. regarding that aspect one will analyze the creation of a mandatory discount to the tariff in case of modification of the licenses issued under a regime prior to the new one and its lack of habilitation and the violation of the legitimate expectations protected both in constitutional and European union law.
