FiT

Ukrainian renewable resource lawyer Svitlana Teush takes a look at the legislation which will certainly specify the cuts to be used in Ukraine after extensive negotiation between federal government as well as the clean energy sector.

They are words to chill the spirit of solar project proprietors when said in regard to feed-in tariffs: retroactive FIT cuts. A Ukrainian government smarting at the cost of funding an extremely successful solar incentive program shows up set on imitating the approach of governments in Spain, Italy and also Czechia by reopening signed settlement agreements to reset the monies spent for clean power, regardless of the costly claims that have actually welcomed such moves in the past.

The Chinese federal government is intending to phase out FITs and aids for all kinds of PV setup by the end of this year, according to the China Photovoltaic Industry Association. The profession body, nevertheless, expects solid healing for residential solar demand over the next 5 years, starting in the second half of 2020.

The Northern Territory Government specified freely that it would certainly money its brand-new home and also organisation battery system by greatly decreasing the feed-in toll paid to brand-new roof generators. The instant outcome appears to have actually been an instantaneous hideaway from roof solar installment that intimidates NT solar companies.

The federal government has actually recommended PV plant drivers approve a 'volunteer' 12.5% decrease in feed-in tolls. If designers decline, policymakers can enforce 15-25% cuts, albeit with repayment agreements expanded 5 years. The radical steps are being thought about to minimize the price of the state-owned Guaranteed Buyer body, which acquires all electrical power created in Ukraine from renewable resource centers.

Rising interconnection costs and constraints are impacting Japan’s ability to contract large-scale solar capacity, according to a project winner in the country’s latest PV auction.

Vietnam plans to reduce feed-in tariff (FiT) rates for ground-mount and floating PV after solar capacity deployment exceeded expectations under the original subsidy by a factor of five.

In August alone, around 327 MW of new solar generation capacity was registered in the country. This month the FIT for solar systems up to 750 kW in size will fall another 1.4%.

Last week the Chinese National Energy Administration (NEA) revealed the winners of its feed-in tariff (FiT) auction.
