The race for incentives is making real the possibility that the latter may run out shortly, perhaps even before the entry into force of the fifth energy account
He is about to end up run over, his mother saves himfifth energy tale. An own goal is looming on the photovoltaic horizon. The incentives much coveted could run out even before the entry into force of the new system, scheduled for next 27 August.
Other than the future of PV. According to some experts in the sector who have calculated the trend of the incentives, the public resources made available equal to 6,7 billion euros could end very soon, thus sending the 5 semesters of duration of the incentives to be blessed.
The achievement of the quota made available would effectively sanction the end of the new incentive system. In the meantime, the decision of the TAR on the appeals presented against the modalities of passage from the Fourth to the Fifth Energy Account. A story that repeats itself every time a system takes over from the previous one, creating not a few discontent among the operators of the sector, the trade unions and the associations that represent them.
And if the photovoltaic race to take advantage of the incentives occurs fourth tale energy, higher than those provided by the Fifth? In this case, it would not be foolhardy to hypothesize that the amount set by the new decree could be extinguished even before the fateful 27 August, when the Fifth Energy Account will officially begin to provide incentives. Which ones at this point?
Even at best, the new energy account could last few months or in any case less than a year. Suffice it to say that in less than a week's time around 100 million euros of incentives were paid.
The scientific director of What energy Gianni Silvestrini “the anticipation of the introduction of the registers has caused an acceleration of the rush to build plants before the start of this trap. And the resources available for the fifth energy bill will therefore decrease from 700 to 400-500 million and in all likelihood they will run out next year, against installations for a power of around 3 GW “.
Il fifth energy tale, a joke in bad taste?
