SOLAR ELECTRICITY IN BELGIUM ALREADY PROFITABLE WITHOUT GREEN CERTIFICATES AND GRID TAX
Munich, Germany – March 11, 2014: The recently revoked grid tax by Belgium’s High Court is again a topic of discussion, though for all solar installations in Wallonia. The grid tax, introduced in December 2012, charges system owners an amount a year for each kilowatt of installed capacity. This will considerably reduce the profitability of solar installations for end consumers and creates uncertainty in the solar market. REC believes that net-metering – without both green certificates and grid charges – is an excellent model which helps residential end consumers to save electricity costs and to foster private investments in renewable energy.
