(Am) All groups except PP Congress pledge to repeal the tax as soon as the sun Government – Yahoo Finance Spain

The fines for infractions related to consumption may not exceed 10% of annual consumption billing

MADRID, 25 (EUROPA PRESS)

All parliamentary groups represented in Congress except the PP have committed in writing to approve a decree law in the first hundred days in office to change the part of the royal decree approved in October consumption 2015, including the repeal of the tax in the sun, and to start negotiations to approve a new regulation.

In particular, the PSOE, we, citizens, ERC, Democracy and Freedom (DL), the PNV , EH Bildu, Compromís, IU, Canary Coalition (CC) and New Canarias (CN), totaling 227 MPs have signed an agreement with consumer organizations, environmentalists, labor, social and renewable energy companies in which embody this commitment .

the document as the text of the decree law next –always government and when some of these formations constitute políticas– adopt at its first hundred days and whose recognition in the House will be supported by all signatories. Outside they remain, along with the ‘popular’ deputies Union del Pueblo Navarro (UPN) and Asturias Forum (FAC), electoral partners PP.

SELF AS LAW.

Vice President of the Renewable Foundation, Jorge Morales de Labra, explained at a press conference with representatives of political parties that the main change will involve the adoption of this decree law will “recognize the right to autoconsumir electricity without type of charge. “

This will in practice immediately remove tolls –the called back tax sun– consume energy self-consumed instantaneously or stored in batteries and consumed later, while will continue carrying on the shed or obtained from the network at the same level paid for conventional generation energy.

in the future regulation can be developed mechanisms simplified compensation, ie procedures net balance with the generators to compensate for their excess production specific energy in times of deficit. “We have to negotiate how to do,” stated Morales de Labra, recognizing that for now any spillage or purchase will be paid at market price.

Asked if it will be worth getting into this kind of trade, expert has acknowledged that only with this executive order immediately “no” application, because its intention is to encourage consumption and not the “business” of surplus. In any case, his opinion is that the long term should not be encouraged overproduction because the goal should be efficiency and saving, not the financial gain of the small producer.

GENERATION AND SHARED consumption.

in addition, the decree law immediately enable the possibility that several consumers consumption share facilities and administrative treatment of such small installations (up to 100 kW) will be simplified, for which ” shall be sufficient notice “, being deleted administrative Register of consumption.

with the same objective the penalty system so that small autoconsumidores will not have to face in any case huge fines for administrative violations will adapt. In this sense, an upper limit of 10% of annual turnover in electricity consumption as a maximum penalty for offenses related to the consumption is set.

The text, which includes Europe Press, precisely in this regard that a breach of requirements and obligations which are not classified as serious are considered minor offenses, including the misapplication of rules and economic systems, which in the current legislation is very serious.

further negotiation.

These changes will not cause an immediate application repeal of all Autoconsumo royal decree, but only a “first step” before starting to negotiate a new regulation “consensus” among political parties and civil society, which achieves a system that encourages consumption as a tool for energy efficiency.

“the regulations in force slows the fight against climate change goes against energy democratization contradict European legislation and unnecessarily hampers the autoconsumidor “, considered the signatories of the agreement, which call for a paradigm shift in which clean energy and decentralized generation is widespread.

However, reaching an agreement on these goals will be a process “long” that will take “at least a year” and, of course, “no less than six months”, according to Morales de Labra, hence the difficulty of regulation and the opposition pose providing utilities.

so, until that political and social consensus is achieved it is necessary to maintain much of the current regulation, and to repeal all the royal decree “would generate more uncertainty” and allow power “refuse” any form subsistence, now allowed but with “significant limitations”.

“But the wording we propose will allow many more facilities that are now possible,” insisted the energy expert, who recommends those already shipped in this type of project that meet the standard and adapt to current regulation within the prescribed period (until April), but investing as little as possible because the legislation “is expected to change.”

the text of the decree law also states that the change will not mean an increase in expenditure or a reduction in revenue for the system because the small size of the premises of consumption make the impact on revenue is “negligible” in the early years.
