Small farmers will be hardest hit by cuts they will reach up to 45% of total premiums.
The City claims that it is a decision "not serious", the result of an energy policy "absurd"
The Town Planning of the City of Lorca, Francisco Garcia, has reported that according to existing data in the Planning Department of the Municipal Town Hall of today, the cut imposed by the Government of Argentina to the premiums for facilities solar energy placed in "serious risk" investments in a total of 58 facilities located in the town of Lorca.
Garcia explained that it was precisely this sector that has generated a very strong movement within the Planning Department during the years 2008 and 2009.
In fact the main activity has been newly established in our city, a trend that has been slowed by dry cutting the Zapatero government against the production of solar energy.
We're talking about investments made both in solar farms and solar installations on roof, taken together, amount to a total amount of 178,794,000 euros.
Francisco García Lorca said the facility had capacity to produce a total of 80,120 kw, making our municipality in one of the national fundamental references on the subject.
Councilman Planning has indicated that the cut is a heavy blow to many farmers Lorca, who had invested his own money making, encouraged by the support announced by the Government of Zapatero.
It is these whom particularly harmful because they not only cut 30% of the premiums, but the saber is applied retroactively.
Moreover, those who have set up their facilities in recent months, according to forecasts by the Ministry of Industry will suffer a 45% cut in premiums.
Not serious commitment that renewable energy is giving away low energy light bulbs manufactured in China while the accumulated electricity bills rose by 50% in 6 years
Given this fact, since the city of Lorca believe that this is a wrong decision, which shows that, in fact, Zapatero's government does not believe in renewable energy.
It makes no sense that if just 2 months ago Zapatero pulled chest with solar energy production, now target the scissors and eat his words.
This can not be.
It is not serious, the moment of truth, the purported commitment to renewables the Government becomes a lie.
It is not serious all the ads trumpeted the Ministry of Industry are only giving away low energy light bulbs manufactured in China while Spanish factories closed.
Francisco Garcia has said that the National Government is wrong and must rectify its energy policy, since it is limited to improvise, contradict and lurch.
When you do not have the clear ideas and plans, things go wrong.
While Zapatero has lost 6 years improvising projects, the electricity bill to pay the Spanish has increased by 50%.
