2011-2012 Feed-In Tariffs for CPV Plants

 

  2011 1st Sem. 2012 2nd Sem. 2012
Power Feed-in Tarif Feed-in Tarif Feed-in Tarif
kW €/kWh €/kWh €/kWh
1 ≤ P ≤ 200 0.359 0.352 0.345
200 < P ≤ 1000 0.310 0.304 0.298
P>1000 0.272 0.266 0.261

 

Depending on plant size and configuration, the feed-in tariff for CPV are as much as €0.15/kWh higher than the tariff offered to traditional PV power plants. Also, the incentives for traditional panels are drastically reduced throughout 2011 and 2012, whereas the reductions for CPV incentives are minimal over the same period of time.
