getting tough with the photovoltaic

Negotiations for the new Royal Decree of the photovoltaic industry are difficult, as highlighted in the meeting held on 26 June between representatives of ASIF and APPA with Secretary General of Energy, Pedro Marin.

According to a document after the meeting that had access Renewable Energy, the Ministry's proposal divided the market into segments, ceilings and floors. In both segments the maximum power is 2 MW installation. For 2009 there will be 300 MW in total, to be distributed: 200 MW and 100 MW on roofs in soil. Marin

proposes these quantities significantly below the proposed ASIF / APPA, because the host power to RD 661/2007 will be much higher than planned and "everything that comes through September, is reducing future if While the Secretary General of Energy indicates that it is not known how much power will enter before September, because "the numbers are increasing every more and are becoming increasingly worrying (is estimated to reach 1,500 MW cumulative).

Industry's intention is to create a centralized way to control numbers and rates, so that to collect the premium will be enrolled in it. Registration will open quarterly periods. In coparse the amount for the quarter, more than expected-installed, the reduction rate for the next quarter would be 2.5%. Requirements are not met, would maintain the rate of the previous quarter.

Regarding the fee, the proposal is 33 c € / kWh for roof and 29 c € / kWh for ground with the aim of curbing the facilities on the ground and in 2009 the new facilities are made, preferably, on rooftops.

No mercy for those left behind
But Marin did not want the facilities that fail to register by September (661/2007 remnants or behind), "collapsing the future", as made clear at the meeting that "there will be no moratorium" for them. Enter into the new RD and check the terms it (rates, maximum size of facility, foster the Registry ....)

also warned of "signs wrong "they are throwing some Autonomous Communities on the closure of the end of September (Valencia, for example, 15 days ago issued an order giving six months to run these facilities overdue) and said that they will resort to" inspections and sanctions to pursue a breach of the rules "

sector response
These proposals completely surprised and disappointed left the industry representatives present at the meeting, among others, Javier Anta, president, Asif, and Miguel Arraras, the front section of APPA-FV, and so he moved to Marin indicating that materialize would create a "restructuring of the sector violent, deadly for many companies."

And now my comments. Hot ...

The issue becomes very hard. I am seeing many companies everywhere, full of young entrepreneurs, making contingency plans to prepare for the worst. Closure.


Quotas are a bad idea:
  1. not the best will survive, but what they have more ability to get to join the quota. We saw it with subsidies. Large bore people at the gates of the public to give input to their cars applications.
  2. The expected price declines will not be as large if quotas remain. Manufacturers are aware of that or install or close, so that at the end of each quarter observe increases in the price of the panels.
  3. will lose competitiveness to compete with Germany, Japan and the U.S. (which are released) and those who are: France, Italy, etc. For example Germany itself stable quotas but 4 and 5 times higher than those presented here.
Places worst, and understanding that this is a regulated market tell us all there is to install, year after year and how much bonus will give us year after year and that each hold his candle stick.

Anyway, for once we have a historic oppurtunity to be leaders in something we are cut off as wings. Did not realize that the premiums, well managed, are a more reasonable investment? That in 15 years we'll forget about utilities? Oops ... I think that is precisely what they have realized. decentralized production of electricity as a democratizing factor does not benefit the coorporativismo that "governs us."

The proposal will queue.


Salu2.
