​The maximum price and reference price are used to calculate the maximum price premium to the market price.
The maximum price is calculated as costs, necessary to produce 1 MWh electricity of renewable sources, using the most efficient technologies (in 2020 the solar and wind technologies were evaluated). Reference price is calculated as weighted average of 3 years market price, i.e. price, that person reasonably expects to get selling electricity  of renewable sources at the pool.
The maximum premium, for which is announced the auction, is calculated as difference between maximum price and reference price. The participant of Auction provide the offers for wished price premium (it can be equal or less then maximum price premium). The winner is defined by the lowest offer, price premium is given for 12 years.
Concrete value depends on the market (pool) prices, but in any case it cannot exceed maximum price. I.e. of the market prices exceeds set maximum price, the price premium is not paid, as persons costs are covered by market price.
