S.A.G. Solarstrom AG successfully connects seven photovoltaic projects to
the grid under Conto Energia IV
Italian portfolio of 3.6 MWp connected in August
Freiburg, September 10, 2012. S.A.G. Solarstrom AG (German security
identification number: 702 100, ISIN: DE0007021008) has successfully
connected seven photovoltaic projects in Italy with a total output of 3.6
MWp in August. The systems will thus receive the Conto Energia IV feed-in
tariff of 23 Eurocents on average. The rooftop systems, with a size of
between 300 kWp and 999 KWp were installed in Northern Italy.
'With the timely connection of the systems in August, we underlined the
fact that S.A.G. Solarstrom AG is capable of successfully implementing
projects even in such a very difficult market environment as Italy finds
itself at present', says Dr. Karl Kuhlmann, CEO of S.A.G. Solarstrom AG.
The projects in Rivarolo del Re ed Uniti (953.28 kWp), San Severino Marche
(291.12 kWp, 388.8 kWp, 354.48 kWp, 293.75 kWp and 360.91 kWp) as well as
Castelverde (999.2 kWp) will receive an average feed-in tariff of 22.9
Eurocents, as at least half of the rooftops fall under asbestos abatement,
as well as an additional sales bonus for the electricity sold of 7.5
Eurocents per kWh.
As a result of the Conto Energia V, introduced on August 27, 2012, the
general conditions for photovoltaic projects in Italy have taken a
considerable turn for the worse. All systems over 12 kWp must be entered in
a solar register, in order to receive a feed-in tariff. Of the EUR700
million subsidy volume under the Conto Energia V, more than EUR300 million
has already been consumed, according to the official counter of the Italian
Energy Authority for Renewable Energy GSE (Gestore Servizi Energetici).
'As the Italian government is expected to discontinue the subsidy program
this year, we will also concentrate increasingly on implementing
photovoltaic projects without subsidized feed-in tariffs in Italy',
explains Dr. Karl Kuhlmann. With a specific solar irradiation of around
1,100 kWh per kWp in Northern Italy, electricity can be produced at
considerably less than 15 Eurocents per kWh at the current system prices.
'This is a future market, which will only really come into full force once
a lasting solution has been found for the banking and financial crisis, so
that the financing activities of the banks in Southern Europe are restored.
In addition, special projects will still be subsidized for a transition
period under the Conto Energia IV'.
