A list of photovoltaic industry policies in some countries around the world

Denmark

martinlidegaard, Minister of climate, energy and construction of Denmark, submitted a plan to expand Denmark's net electricity metering in the house of Commons last November, and planned to reduce the country's electricity price subsidies

the draft will break the current limit of maximum 6kW subsidy for photovoltaic systems, encourage the construction of larger-scale photovoltaic projects, and plan to cut the financial subsidy by half, and reduce the current electricity price consistent with other renewable energy sources, 1.3 DKK/kWh, to 0.6 DKK/kwh in the next five years. The subsidy tax rate is expected to be implemented from 2015 and will be revised annually after 2018

France

the French Ministry of ecology, sustainable development and energy unexpectedly proposed to provide an additional 10% subsidy to commercial photovoltaic power stations using European panels in early October last year, and announced the specific implementation details in early February this year

subsequently, the French Energy Regulatory Commission determined at the end of October that butyl rubber was mainly used in the tire industry in the fourth quarter of 2012, and the electricity price subsidy was 3.5 euro cents and 7.5 euro cents, down from the previous 4.5 euro cents and 9.5 euro cents

the French government announced a series of emergency measures to promote the development of local photovoltaic industry in early January this year

Germany

Peter ottmer, German Minister of environment, said at the beginning of this year that the maximum increase in the generation surcharge of German renewable energy subsidies should be set at 2.5%. This ceiling will ensure the predictability, reliability and affordability of the German Renewable Energy Act (EEG). EEG power generation surcharge will maintain the current 0.0528 euros (0.072 US dollars) per kWh, and the maximum annual increase will not exceed 2.5% from 2015. At the same time, the government plans to introduce subsidies for photovoltaic energy storage systems in February

Greece

at the beginning of November last year, the Deputy Minister of Greece suspended the application for new photovoltaic projects due to the fact that the Ministry of environment, energy and climate change of Greece believed that its set photovoltaic installation target had been achieved, and the screw on the zigzag rod was rotated. Recently, the law firm Metaxas associates submitted an appeal to the Greek State Council on behalf of several anonymous Greek and foreign photovoltaic investors, asking the parliament to reconsider whether to suspend the application for new photovoltaic projects. In addition to suspending the application for new photovoltaic projects, the parliament also suspended the evaluation of similar pending applications. However, roof photovoltaic systems and applications submitted in the "fast track" process are not bound by this resolution

Italy

the Italian government announced at the beginning of the year that its net metering tariff subsidy scheme will be limited to photovoltaic systems with a scale of less than 200kW, and decided to take effect on January 1, 2013. The net metering tariff scheme can be used as a supplement to the tariff subsidy scheme. According to the net metering scheme, the power company settles the electricity consumption expenses according to the net electricity in and out of the user's building. That is, the amount of electricity that users send in during the peak period of power generation and the amount of electricity extracted from electricity during the peak period of power consumption can be deducted from each other when calculating power consumption

Spain

due to the adjustment of the CPI index, the Spanish government recently announced that it would reduce its solar photovoltaic electricity price subsidy by 0.028%. The government claimed that the adjustment of the CPI index would help alleviate the country's financial crisis and would prevent consumers from bearing the brunt of the rise in oil prices. The Spanish photovoltaic Association UNEF seriously refuted this resolution

Switzerland

at the beginning of November last year, Swiss energy supplier ESR recently introduced a residential roof rental plan for the photovoltaic installation project in Valle, Switzerland. ESR said that customers would pay CHF 2.90 and a surcharge of CHF 14.50 per square meter per month, which would replace at least 20% of the average household electricity bill

UK

at the end of September last year, the UK Department of energy and climate change cancelled the new proposal in July, did not take immediate action on renewable energy certification for projects larger than 5MW, and considered reducing the renewable energy certification points of solar photovoltaic from 2 to 1.5 from April 2013

in addition, Ofgem, the UK energy regulator, confirmed to reduce the electricity price subsidy for solar PV from February 1, 2013

Ukraine

in late November last year, the Ukrainian parliament passed the second draft of the green energy bill, paving the way for the country to cut the solar power tariff subsidy by 27% from the Changping Town Government since 2013

in addition, Ukrainian President Victor?? Yanukovych signed the 5485-vi act at the beginning of December last year, and the country will start to reduce the electricity price subsidies for solar power stations from April this year

Canada

the WTO recognizes that Ontario's local production quota requirements are discriminatory, and suggests Canada to rectify itself by taking measures consistent with its obligations and providing non discriminatory subsidies in accordance with the agreement on investment measures that are easy to be related to our products because they are very suitable for the needs of the market and the general agreement on Tariffs and Trade issued in 1994

the Commission of Commissioners of the Los Angeles water and power company (LADWP) decided in January this year to go further on the basis of the 10MW electricity price subsidy plan in the region, and approved the new electricity price subsidy plan with a total amount of 100MW

according to this plan, residents, solar energy companies or other third-party solar energy developers can install distributed generation systems in LADWP area, connect to the city, and sell power to LADWP

Jordan

the Jordanian Electricity Regulatory Commission announced the country's first electricity price subsidy plan before Christmas last year, granting 120 Fels (US $0.17) for solar photovoltaic and 135 Fels for solar systems not exceeding 500MW. This tariff subsidy is higher than all other renewable energy sources. The policy will also require 15% of the system to be produced locally in Jordan. Zhonghua glass () Department
