    The stability law received the Senate's trust just a few hours ago with 199 yes, 55 no and 10 abstentions making concrete the fears raised by the associations of the photovoltaic sector about the extension until October 2013.

    The amendment, presented and voted on today in the Senate extends the current deadline of 31 December 2012 to 30 June 2013 of the tariffs of fourth tale energy, which are higher than those envisaged by the fifth energy account, currently in force. But the real crux of the matter is that the extension concerns all photovoltaic systems installed on buildings and land of the PA.

    This means that the public administrations, contrary to what has been established so far, they will be able to benefit from greater incentives for the installation of photovoltaics, taking advantage of those of the fourth account and not of the fifth. The latter, in this way, would be further jeopardized given the scarcity of the remaining funds. A few days ago the meter of the Energy Services Operator registered the achievement of the € 6,5 billion of bonuses paid out of the € 6,7 billion available.

    The association GIFI-Anie opposed this solution, primarily because the proposal does not appear to have "guaranteed financial coverage". The fears also concern the fact that in this way the scarce resources left at the disposal of the Fifth Conto energi would be affected, to the benefit of a few. In addition, the association says, many land could be sold free of charge to the PA in order to enjoy this benefit.

    “We would not like behind these measures to hide attempts at speculation that would damage the image and entrepreneurship of an industrial sector that operates seriously and with professional ethics. We wonder if whoever signed the amendment understood the heavy lifting of it consequences on the employment level. The current crisis requires firmness, but also extreme clarity in the regulatory framework. Measures of this type, on the other hand, create a negative image of our sector in public opinion and accelerate its fall ”he declared Valerio Natalizia President ANIE/GIFI.



    But now the amendment will have to go back to Bedroom for the definitive yes.
