“Feed-in tariffs for solar PV stay stable”

Federal Network Agency

Feed-in tariffs for new photovoltaic (PV) installations will remain stable for facilities that begin operation between 1 October and 31 December 2016, the Federal Network Agency (BNetzA) said in a press release. This is the fifth time in a row that these fixed payments will go unchanged, and is because the 1,096 megawatts (MW) of new capacity installed over the last 12 months is far below the target corridor of 2.4 – 2.6 gigawatts (GW) determined by the Renewable Energy Act (EEG), BNetzA said in a press release. Feed-in tariffs for PV were last lowered in June 2015.
