No, they are currently not subsidized at all. What was done was guaranteeing minimum prices for renewable energy. These prices used to be way higher than market prices to make renewable energy generation economically feasible. This way especially important in the first decade of this century and back then you could call the renewables heavily subsidized.

But recently market prices for electricity were by far exceeding the minimum guaranteed prices, so you can't call those renewables as "heavily subsidized".
