Tariff Based on: Market Price Referant.

*This program is not a true feed-in tariff as it is alsmost impossible to project revenues from the "tariff". This kind of program is called by critics a FITINO, a feed-in tariff in name only.

The tariffs in the above table are only for the 15-year contract and only an approximation as the payment varies with the time of the day and the season.

bAll sites are paid the initial tariff for the first 12 years. Sites must be beyond 12 miles and bonus for further offshore and deeper than 20 meters.

d Is in operation by Dec 31, 2010.

e Premium paid according to fuel used and for use of "innovative" technology.

Reference yield data on wind turbines on the German market: http://www.wind-fgw.de/eeg_referenzertrag.htm.

http://www.wind-fgw.de/eeg_referenzertrag.htm

http://www.wind-fgw.de/eeg_start.htm

Tariffs degress annually as noted; beginning in 2006 freestanding or ground-mounted PV tariffs degress 6.5%, all other tarfiffs for PV degress 5%.

http://www.wind-works.org/FeedLaws/Germany/EEG-New-English-final.pdf

Solar Photovoltaic 2009

There are many new provisions for Solar PV in 2009.

1. There is now a sliding scale for degression that depends upon the rate of growth from one year to the next.

2009: 1,000-1,500 MW

2010: 1,100-1,700 MW

2011: 1,200-1,900 MW

If growth exceeds this rate, the digression is increased by 1%.

If growth is less than this rate, the digression is decreased by 1%.

2. The facade bonus was eliminated.

3. There are provisions now for self-generation.

4. Systems greater than 100 kW must be capable of being remotely controlled.

5. Operators will be reimbursed for any generation that the grid operator rejects (for systems greater than 100 kW).

Wind 2009

Repowering incentive is paid under the condition that the turbines being replaced are 10 years old or older and that the new capacity is more than twice the original capacity.

Wind 2009

Grid extension obligation for each new renewable installation.

Penalty or compensation in favour of the operator if the grid installation is not sufficient.

Detailed report obligation against the grid operator for regular and transparent reports on the grid status.

via Heinrich Bartelt

a There is a continuum between reference yields that's not explicity stated in the table. All sites are paid the inital price for five years. The initial price is extended two months for every 0.75 x the quotient of the actual yield relative to 150% of th

bAll sites are paid the initial tariff for the first 12 years. Sites must be beyond 12 miles and bonus for further offshore and deeper than 20 meters.

District heating bonus: must replace fossil fuels, 1/5 of heat "decoupled". See Annex 4 for Heat Bonus requirements.

Solar Photovoltaic 2009

There are many new provisions for Solar PV in 2009.

1. There is now a sliding scale for degression that depends upon the rate of growth from one year to the next.

2009: 1,000-1,500 MW

2010: 1,100-1,700 MW

2011: 1,200-1,900 MW

If growth exceeds this rate, the digression is increased by 1%.

If growth is less than this rate, the digression is decreased by 1%.

2. The facade bonus was eliminated.

3. There are provisions now for self-generation.

4. Systems greater than 100 kW must be capable of being remotely controlled.

5. Operators will be reimbursed for any generation that the grid operator rejects (for systems greater than 100 kW).

Wind 2009

Repowering incentive is paid under the condition that the turbines being replaced are 10 years old or older and that the new capacity is more than twice the original capacity.

Wind 2009

Grid extension obligation for each new renewable installation.

Penalty or compensation in favour of the operator if the grid installation is not sufficient.

Detailed report obligation against the grid operator for regular and transparent reports on the grid status.

via Heinrich Bartelt

a There is a continuum between reference yields that's not explicity stated in the table. All sites are paid the inital price for five years. The initial price is extended two months for every 0.75 x the quotient of the actual yield relative to 150% of th

Solar Photovoltaic 2009

There are many new provisions for Solar PV in 2009.

1. There is now a sliding scale for degression that depends upon the rate of growth from one year to the next.

2009: 1,000-1,500 MW

2010: 1,100-1,700 MW

2011: 1,200-1,900 MW

If growth exceeds this rate, the digression is increased by 1%.

If growth is less than this rate, the digression is decreased by 1%.

2. The facade bonus was eliminated.

3. There are provisions now for self-generation.

4. Systems greater than 100 kW must be capable of being remotely controlled.

5. Operators will be reimbursed for any generation that the grid operator rejects (for systems greater than 100 kW).

Wind 2009

Repowering incentive is paid under the condition that the turbines being replaced are 10 years old or older and that the new capacity is more than twice the original capacity.

Wind 2009

Grid extension obligation for each new renewable installation.

Penalty or compensation in favour of the operator if the grid installation is not sufficient.

Detailed report obligation against the grid operator for regular and transparent reports on the grid status.

via Heinrich Bartelt

a There is a continuum between reference yields that's not explicity stated in the table. All sites are paid the inital price for five years. The initial price is extended two months for every 0.75 x the quotient of the actual yield relative to 150% of th

Existing microgenerators transferred from RO.

Begins April 10, 2010 though systems installed up to that time can qualify.

Micro CHP <2 kW: This tariff is available only for 30,000 microCHP installations. A review will take place when 12,000 units have been installed.*Great Britain's micro FIT program is intended primarily for off-loading consumption. To encourage conservation, the program pays a bonus for electricity exported to the grid.

New Spanish tariffs introduced May 25, 2007.

http://www.wind-works.org/FeedLaws/Spain/SpanishList.html

1. Operator can choose between two systems: fixed or "regulated tariffs", or a premium payment plus the wholesale price.

4. There are additional payments for reactive power supply and voltage support. There are also deductoins for forecasting costs.

5. Fully inflation adjustd because of connection to AET price. The price rises 1.4-1.7% annually says AEE.

6. Bonus system: market price plus ~40% of AET, plus a 10% bonus to switch to the bonus system or ~Euro 0.0365/kWh.

8. Low interest loans for Solar PV Euro 120 million for small installations.

9. First tariffs begain with decree in 1997.

10. There is no price degression.

7. Bonus system in 2005: Euro 0.0693 (0.0365+0.00048+0.031-0.003/kWh). This is slightly higher than fixed payment but depends upon fluctuation market price.

Inflation indexing: Previously 100% with AET. 2007 Decret; 75% to 2012, 50% post 2012.

Note: There are capacity limits on each technology.

€ 500/kW security deposit required; returned when system begins operation. Because of the tariff, banks have finance dup to 88% of project costs. Sun & Wind Energy 1/2009.

6,000 MW of new wind permitted through 2012.

2,400 MW of new CSP permitted through 2013. 2010 limit for CSP raised from 500 MW to 861 MW. After 2010 500 MW of CSP permitted per year. New Energy 6/2009.

*Switzerland has opted for the German system of tariff differentiation by resource intensity. Unlike the French system, the German and Swiss system extend the premium payment for a certain number of months as opposed to dropping the tariff in year 6. Ret**A premium is offered if the costs of "water management" are greater than 20% of the total project costs, according to a formula, increasing up to 50%, at which point the full premium must be paid.

EnerQ was officially launched on 1 July 2003, this being the date of implementation of the MEP Scheme.

The MEP Scheme applies to renewable energy generating, CHP (combined heat and power) plants and so-called CNFE (climate neutral fossil energy) plants. EnerQ pays out grants on the basis of generation certificates. The level of subsidy per kWh is set by th

EnerQ collects the funds it pays out by way of MEP grants from the grid administrators, which collect EUR 34,00 each for connecting the generating company (or for implementing connections at the generating company). EnerQ administers these funds and rende

The MEP Scheme is open to all renewable energy, CHP and CNFE plants that are hooked up either to the Dutch grid or to a factory.
