According to the associations, after the race for incentives there is a risk of paralysis of the photovoltaic sector
He is about to end up run over, his mother saves himfifth energy tale. Associations, workers, sindacati, Regions and now also the Senate they are defending with nails and with the teeth the photovoltaic and incentives, completely or partially bucking the draft of the decree which has been around for a month now.
And, also in view of a reduction of the expenditure ceiling, there are fears for the race for incentives. As has been pointed out several times, the new system significantly lowered the investment ceiling passing by 6 billion of the fourth energy account to the 500 million euro of the fifth. According to what is read in the current draft, the new regime should come into force one month after exceeding the 6 billion threshold.
It is clear that it is not possible to predict how much this figure will be reached, not even for the GSE. The decree, however, it shouldn't start on July 1st as originally planned but on October 1, 2012. However, many believe that the 6 billion euro threshold of incentives can be reached during the summer, even by the end of August or at the latest in the first days of September.
Fault, if you can call it that, of the rush to installations by sector operators to be able to obtain the benefits provided for by the Fourth energy account, before the final takeover of the Fifth.
And new gripes they also come from Anie/Gifi, especially with regard to the record. The new system will introduce the obligation to register also for small plants, except for those under 12 kW. And here's how the rates will change. As stated in Repubblica, if with the fourth energy account a 3 kW plant on the roof allowed a remuneration of about 352 euros / MWh, with the Fifth it will have 237 and for a 200 kW plant on a building the remuneration will drop from 313 to 199 euros / MWh, while for 1 MW on shore it will go from 236 to 161.
Hence the invitation to the institutions ad raise the register threshold up to 200 kW, more compatible with the objectives of promoting self-consumption and spending control. “We have proposed to the institutions the adoption of a virtuous spending control system which, as the power connected to the electricity grid increases, provides for a further decrease in the tariff in the following reference period. By doing so, spending would continue to be monitored and the element of insecurity linked to a register threshold that is too low would be eliminated ”, say the associations.
Valerio Natalizia President of GIFI-ANIE he said that "the implementation of the register managed by the GSE for all plants with peak power above 12 kWp is not the right tool". In his opinion, in fact, the adoption of the register with such a low access threshold would have the sole effect of "increasing bureaucracy, putting sustainable development of the market at great risk also and above all due to the enormous uncertainty inherent in the feasibility of photovoltaic projects to the detriment of their bankability ".
