"The development of this sector has far exceeded forecasts" warned the new Minister of Industry, Miguel Sebastian. While the country was counting on 371 MW installed in 2010, this capacity was reached in the summer of 2007. At the end of this year, the country will have 1 MW installed.
In an attempt to control the exponential development of the sector, the government has announced a "very significant reduction" in aid from next year for new installations.
The feed-in price should therefore be lowered. Currently, it is 45 euro cents per kWh produced. It could be lowered to 32 euro cents and vary depending on the size of the installation. Quotas will also be put in place to limit this.
The Spanish solar market experienced growth of 450% in 2007, with 7 million euros in turnover and 800 direct and indirect jobs. The number of installations has increased threefold in two years, and today exceeds the figure of 26.
funny as considerations no, the Spanish poôôvres produce too many cheap and non-polluting current, the height!
How do we get there?
