Spain is proposing to cut the subsidies it pays solar plants by 30% for existing plants, 45% for future ground-mounted units, 25% for large future roof-mounted sites and 5% for smaller roofs, according to various wire service reports, citing comments from industry lobbyists.
Reuters notes that Tomas Diaz, a spokesman for the Spanish solar lobby ASIF, said that the proposal would “destroy the government’s renewables-friendly policy and kill us all off.”
The government wants to close the big gap between the real cost of producing power and the subsidized price consumers pay for it.
