Fifth energy bill: the development decree is good, but it is urgent to change the plant register

Failure to raise the register threshold could void some of the innovations introduced by the Development Decree

fifth energy tale. The advantages introduced by the Development decree, approved last Friday by the Council of Ministers, they could be canceled if the access threshold is not changed record, in accordance with the current draft of the decree on photovoltaic incentives.

He said so Valerio Natalizia, President of GIFI-ANIE, who has long been urging the parties involved, primarily the government, to find a solution that can lead to an increase in the threshold for access to the register of photovoltaic systems. According to fifth energy tale the registration obligation should be valid for those of 12 kW and up.

also the Regions, among the proposed changes, required exemption from the obligation to register photovoltaic power plants up to 100 kW, for which the indicative annual cost of the incentives for the semester does not exceed 50 million euros. But GIFI-ANIE is aiming to get up to the 200 kW of power.

Christmas, while expressing satisfaction with regard to some points of the Development Decree, and in particular on the incentives for the green jobs, he said he was seriously worried "about the persistence of the register for photovoltaic systems which, as proposed, would nullify the positive elements introduced by the Development Decree and increase the unemployment rate in the photovoltaic sector".

Because? According to the associations such a mechanism would not contribute to the control of expenditure and would also have the disadvantage of producing a excess bureaucracy, to raise costs for companies in the sector and reduce the competitiveness of the industrial sector.

"A registro a 12 kWp - keep it going Christmas - it is not in the interest of companies in any sector: a photovoltaic system can actually reduce energy costs, thus increasing competitiveness. The slowdown in the development of the photovoltaic sector - concludes Natalizia - would cause considerable damage to everyone, starting with the state coffers. Important flows of VAT and taxes paid by companies in the sector would be prevented which, continuing to grow, would not be forced to absorb other public resources, starting with layoffs. The register is a bad choice. "
