advance as binding commitments have originated from Finland as well as Luxembourg who will certainly now participate in a cross-border tender for renewable

Luxembourg’s minister of energy, Claude Turmes, has launched a tender for the development of 40 MW of solar power generation capacity. The procurement is divided into five lots. There are 10 MW slices of capacity available for solar arrays on industrial sites and for two sizes of rooftop capacity and two 5 MW, capacity-determined sections of the tender devoted to PV systems on parking lots and water basins. The lowest solar electricity price ceiling, of €89/MWh (€0.089/kWh), will be set for industrial locations with a generation capacity of 500 kW-5 MW. Non-industrial site rooftop installations with the same capacity will have a maximum power price of €115/MWh and developers of smaller systems (200-500 kW) can bid a maximum €120/MWh for the power generated. A tariff of €140/MWh will be available for facilities with a rating of 500 kW-5 MW sited on parking lots and water basins and smaller systems on such sites (200-500 kW) can bid up to €145. Deadline Developers have until March 16 to submit bids. With an installed solar generation capacity of 134 MW at the end of 2018, according to the International Renewable Energy Agency, Luxembourg wants to boost the sector, especially to meet transport needs which account for around 60% of the energy consumption of the grand duchy, thus “putting the climate objective at risk”, according to the government. The authorities put in place incentives for small solar installations at the beginning of the year. In May, the government raised feed-in tariffs for small PV systems. Renewables met around 8% of Luxembourg’s power needs last year. The European micro state’s goal is to raise that figure to 11% next year. In May 2017, the Ministry of Sustainable Development and Infrastructure presented an energy strategy aimed at increasing solar capacity to 2.5 GW, and that of renewables overall to 4.8 GW, by 2050.

Luxembourg-headquartered Indian steel manufacturer ArcelorMittal has announced completion of a megawatt-sized rooftop PV system at its factory in Ghent, in the Belgian region of Flanders. The steelmaker said the €7.5 million rooftop array, which features 27,104 solar panels from an undisclosed manufacturer and is able to generate 10 GWh per year, is the largest in Belgium. The installation will operate along with 14 wind turbines at the site for a total clean energy generation capacity of around 50 MW. The energy used will power manufacturing, said ArcelorMittal. The mounting systems used for the PV project were made with the steelmaker’s Magnelis product, which the manufacturer claims is particularly adapted for large scale solar project structures. Crowdfunding Dutch energy provider Eneco, which installed the rooftop system, said the installation was the second project it had carried out that had been supported by crowdfunding. ArcelorMittal Belgium’s 5,800 employees were offered the chance to invest €250-1,000 in the project for a guaranteed gross return of 4%. “If you, for example, lend €500 you will earn an extra €20 euros a year,” said Iwein Goigne, CEO of Eneco Solar Belgium. “In six years’ time the employee earns €120. After the term, she or he will recover the original investment of €500 as well.” Belgium has seen increased interest in large scale rooftop solar in recent months. Wallonian installer Perpetum Energy in July announced a plan to build a 20 MW solar carport for a zoo near Brugelette and a 2.2 MW array was commissioned in June at the industrial plant of Belgian company Ontex. At the end of last year, Belgium had a little more than 4 GW of installed PV generation capacity, about three-quarters of which was in Flanders.
