Niemiecka polityka wsparcia PV – zmiany i wyzwania

W ciagu ostatniej dekady Niemcy staly sie swiatowym liderem we wspieraniu i rozwoju fotowoltaiki. Niemal polowa (45%) swiatowej mocy w fotowoltaice zainstalowana jest obecnie w Niemczech (25 GW). Od czasu przyjecia ustawy o odnawialnych zrodlach energii Erneuerbaren-Energien-Gesetz (EEG) w 2000 r. oraz jej nowelizacji w 2004 r. w Niemczech mozna bylo zaobserwowac znaczacy rozwoj wykorzystania fotowoltaiki w celu pokrycia zapotrzebowania na energie elektryczna. W tym czasie obnizyly sie koszty przetworzenia energii slonca w energie elektryczna. Podczas gdy w 2000 r. taryfa stala dla fotowoltaiki PV wynosila 50 ct/kWh, obecnie w wielu regionach Niemiec, po wprowadzeniu ostatnich modyfikacji w EEG, taryfa ta jest nizsza niz cena detaliczna energii elektrycznej. Tym samym jeden z najbardziej istotnych celow EEG, czyli redukcja kosztow produkcji energii z OZE, zostal w odniesieniu do PV osiagniety.
