Nine major European electricity suppliers (GDF, ENI, Iberdrola ...) on Tuesday called on the EU to curb public support for the development of renewable energies. They accuse these energies (wind, solar, etc.) of hampering investments and reducing the security of European energy supply.
The CEOs of Suez, Gérard Mestrallet, and of ENI, Paolo Scaroni, came to present to the European Parliament, which is sitting this week in Strasbourg, "concrete measures to rebuild the Europe of energy", according to a joint statement between these nine energy specialists. They deplore that their investment efforts are "hampered by uncertainty about (their) profitability, in particular due to the absence of a clear, predictable and objective political framework, based on stable and predictable legislation".
According to them, according to them: overly generous subsidies for renewable energies, which would dissuade investment in traditional energies and undermine the profitability of conventional power plants, particularly gas power plants, which are essential for the security of energy supply in the old continent.

I thought that in France it was not a state subsidy system (except the mechanism of the investment tax credit which can be considered as a subsidy) which financed the purchase of the PV? Since it is the CSPE which finances renewable energies, for details and figures read: https://www.econologie.com/forums/augmentati ... 10076.html
