RENEWABLES: Czech Reduced PV Feed-In-Tarrifs Could Impact Investors

RENEWABLES
BulletPower BulletsEnergy BulletsCommodities

The Czech government aims to reduce feed-in tariffs retroactively for PV projects from 2006 to 2013. The solar industry has condemned the move, warning it may unsettle investors, the Czech Solar Association said, cited by PV magazine.

  • The 2025 Czech state budget lacks sufficient funds for renewable energy, especially solar power, according to Jan Krcmar, executive director of the Czech Solar Association.
  • Additionally, Krcmar pointed out that the government has repeatedly reduced feed-in tariffs for solar power plants in the past.
  • “The ministry asserts that renewable energy investors have repaid their loans and recovered their investments," Krcmar said. "This is false – the Czech banking sector still has over €1bn in outstanding loans."
  • The cuts could impact investors to cover interest payments and lead to default, according to Krcmar.
