Clini and Passera are hesitating, the associations are on a war footing and fear the boycott of renewable sources
He is about to end up run over, his mother saves himfifth energy tale. The new system of incentives for photovoltaics seems to have run aground. No news has arrived from the Government on the implementation of the changes suggested by the Regions. But it is a clash between Passera and Clini on two points: the record andentry into force of the system.
The points on which the Ministry of the Environment and that of Economic Development they would disagree are the power threshold for registration in the plant register and the entry into force of the fifth energy account.
Clini would therefore be willing toraising the threshold from 12 to 20 kWh, but not Passera who makes it an economic question, of resources available to invest. In any case, both solutions, even the best, hoped for by the Ministry of the Environment would be well below that required by the Regions, for which the register should be mandatory for plants from 100 kWh upwards and from that of associations, which required as much as 200 kWh.
Clini, however, would be in favor of the entry into force of the system from 1 October, but he is not of the same opinion as Passera, more inclined to make the effects of the decree operational. reaching 6 billion euros, among other things, a very close goal.
Hard times are expected. The main associations in the sector, APER, Anie-GIFI and Assosolare, have already threatened a battle in the event of the Government not accepting the changes considered “essential” by the Regions.
According to the associations the sector of renewable can make its own contribution to the exit from the crisis: "We would like not only the costs of incentives to be included in the overall accounting, but also items such as the reduction of dependence on energy from abroad, protection from price volatility of fossil fuels, the now demonstrated reduction in the price of electricity and the creation of new jobs “.
And there is no lack of criticism. For associations and the failure to raise the maximum annual expenditure threshold up to 7 billion EUR is the missed moving in October the entry into force of the Fifth Energy Bill will entail "on the one hand a premature termination of the incentives themselves before the actual competitiveness of photovoltaics is reached and on the other hand it will create irreparable damage to those who are legitimately building the plants in these days". And they fear that this stiffening could be "the result of the fossil energy crisis, which they want to keep artificially alive, preventing the development of renewable sources".
But what's the point?
