The Municipal Socialist Group spokesman, Manuel Soler, began his appearance by stating that "as provided for in Royal Decree 9/2013 of 12 July, the Minister and the Director General of Industry decided that cost would have been reasonable in the investment PV made before and all who are above that cost, the Spanish administration deemed to be overpaid and these amounts are not taken into account for the calculation of depreciation, what the government called reasonable profit. Many of those owners will default on loans taken over by the banks. those who give additional guarantees that are most if not paid, financial institutions will proceed to seize property ".
Soler has warned that "the main problem will be presented with this formula is that as in all cases presented a business opportunity, renewable energy in the years from 2007 to 2009, and under the laws of that date , could be considered for large investors a profitable business and poor families a supplement to retirement. Both manufacturers, developers, brokers and land owners won large sums of money, now the Government will not consider. "
Lorca The mayor said that "Lorca is one of the municipalities in the region which has large investments in solar farms.'s Largest polygon is close to Saprelorca. This is a cooperative of 400 families mostly farmers, to be totally defenseless against the financial institutions who lent around € 35 million for the payment of investment, putting forward their homes and farms. "
Soler Look has announced that "the Municipal Socialist Group will present a motion at the next plenary for the City of Lorca urge the National Government in Order to be developed by the Royal Decree-Law 9/2013 of July 12, approved by the Council of Ministers, not penalize existing investments in renewable energy and, similarly, to urge the President of the Autonomous Community of Murcia to formulate an Appeal against the Royal Decree, as it did against which was published by the previous Socialist government that reduced by 30% subsidized hours within three years. "
"The Popular Party criticized as Zapatero's government applied to renewables ending 31-12-2013.'s PP promised that when he came to power would repeal the legislation. Not only did not fulfill its commitment if not increased with a tax of 7% of total revenue. now a new Royal Decree public that all indications are that they are developed corresponding orders will be the last straw for this sector. The Government will decide on the optimal cost which had to pay for the facilities already made previously and interest rate loans with the Bank subscribed. owners charged monthly energy market price plus a supplement for investment costs that management has considered reasonable, plus a annual fee of 7.5% on such costs in respect of reasonable return, "he added.
Manuel Soler ended his appearance considering that "the Popular Party government wants to put a tax on clean energy and as harsh criticism made against the measure of the previous Socialist government, not to extend it and post a new Royal Decree. The difference is that just watched the previous three years and the current is undefined. We must admit that was a blow to the sector but it was put loans to skip those three years. now the problem is for the life of the investment. "
