The rental values of hydroelectric facilities under concession or with a capacity of more than 500 kilowatts are apportioned between the communes in whose territory the watercourses used or civil engineering works exist, taking into account the size of the latter, the possible existence of water reservoirs and the average hydraulic capacity that has become unavailable within the boundary of each commune as a result of the plant; the percentages fixing this apportionment are determined by the authorisation or concession deed.
A decree issued on the proposal of the Minister for the Economy and Finance, the Minister for the Interior and the Minister for Industry specifies the method for determining the percentages provided for in the first paragraph as well as the conditions for applying this paragraph (1).
(1) Annex III, art. 323.
