The Greek
Energy ministry announced today new tariffs for photovoltaics, which will be
applied retroactively to p/v rooftop systems installed from February onwards. New
tariffs apply to both mounted and rooftop systems after the 1st of
June.
The purpose
of the new reduction of feed-in tariffs is to reduce the cost of this particular
technology, as LAGIE, the Greek market operator, faces an ever increasing
deficit, which right now exceeds 300 million euros. The massive amount of new
photovoltaic capacity connected to the Greek grid during the first quarter of
2013 will increase the deficit, according to LAGIE and the government,
therefore those reductions in p/v tariffs was necessary.
