    Eigen Huis: teruggavetermijn btw bij zonnepanelen beperkt tot 6 maanden

    Vereniging Eigen Huis meldt dat de termijn waarbinnen consumenten de btw kunnen terugvragen op de aanschaf en installatie van zonnepanelen wordt beperkt tot 6 maanden na afloop van het jaar van aankoop.

    Eigen Huis baseert zich op een mededeling van staatssecretaris van Financiën Menno Snel (red. Regeling van de Staatssecretaris van Financiën van 31 december 2018 tot wijziging van enige uitvoeringsregelingen op het gebied van belastingen en toeslagen). Voor de aanvraag voor de teruggave van de btw op de aanschaf en installatie van zonnepanelen gold tot 1 januari 2019 geen uiterlijke termijn. Met de aanpassing is er nu alsnog een termijn van 6 maanden gekomen. Wie als consument in 2018 dus zonnepanelen heeft gekocht, dient deze dus voor 1 juli 2019 terug te vragen.

    Wordt het verzoek later dan deze gedaan, dan kan bij de Belastingdienst om een zogenaamde ambtshalve teruggave worden gevraagd. Hiervoor geldt een periode van 5 jaar na afloop van het jaar waarin de zonnepanelen zijn aangeschaft. Eigen Huis raadt consumenten echter wel aan om het hier niet op aan te laten komen, omdat deze stap volgens de vereniging met meer onzekerheden is omgeven.

    De wijziging is door de staatssecretaris in de officiële publicatie als volgt geformuleerd: 'Met de wijziging van artikel wordt geregeld dat ook voor belastingplichtigen die niet reeds zijn uitgenodigd tot het doen van aangifte, maar wel een teruggaaf van omzetbelasting wensen (red. zoals consumenten die eigenaar zijn van zonnepanelen), een termijn gaat gelden waarbinnen om een dergelijke uitnodiging moet worden verzocht. Deze termijn wordt gesteld op 6 maanden na afloop van het kalenderjaar waarin het recht op teruggaaf is ontstaan.'

    Ladakh will soon be home to world's largest solar plant

    Times Of India reported that Ladakh, known for its pristine natural beauty and colourful mountains towering over vast swathes of desolate land, is set to add another feature to its fame the world's largest single-location solar photo-voltaic plant. Some 200km to the south in Kargil, another mega project will join forces to light up the plains, keep glaciers cool by saving 12,750 tonne of carbon emission a year, remove dependence on diesel gensets and create livelihood for the local population that remains cut off for 6-8 months.

    SECI (Solar Energy Corporation of India)- under the renewable energy ministry is promoting the projects in J&K on a scale matching the grandeur of their locations 5,000 MW (mega watt) for the Ladakh unit and 2,500 MW for Kargil - to be completed by 2023 at an estimated investment of Rs 45,000 crore.

    The Ladakh project will be located at Hanle-Khaldo in Nyoma, a strategically important area 254km from Leh. The Kargil project will be built at Suru in Zanskar, 254km from the district HQ. Power from the Ladakh project will flow to Kaithal in Haryana, for which a900-km line will be laid mostly along Leh-Manali road. The Kargil project will hook up with the grid at New Wanpoh near Srinagar. The bids offer flexibility and many firsts, like combining the plant and associated transmission lines, putting promoters in control who otherwise have to depend on another entity for transmission and suffer if evacuation routes are delayed.

    SECI director (power systems) SK Mishra told TOI that “We have addressed issues faced in previous tenders and taken into account the challenging geography.”

    The projects are expected to spur development in the remote border regions and empower the local population through skilling for jobs such as cleaning of solar panels and maintenance of transformers etc. Power minister RK Singh had in August last year said Ladakh has potential of hosting 25,000 MW of solar power projects.

    12 companies show interest in 1,000MW floating solar plant in Solapur

    MSEDCL’s 1,000MW solar floating plant at Ujani dam in Solapur district has evoked tremendous response with 12 top companies participating in the pre-bid meeting held in Mumbai. Interestingly, Mahagenco had planned to set up a floating solar plant in its Irai dam (district Chandrapur). However, the consultant appointed by it found the proposal to be costly and the company dropped the project. The plant will be developed through a private partner. The discom has finalized ten locations in the dam where panels having total capacity of 100MW would be installed. The power would be supplied to farmers of Solapur and adjoining districts. The panels would reduce evaporation from the dam and save 1,000 million cubic feet water. Moreover, floating panels’ efficiency will be 6 to 7% more than normal ones.

    The companies that participated in the pre-bid meeting are: Juniper Green, Solar Energy of India, EWGIE Solar, Shapurji Pallonji Infra, Adani Green, Adani Power, Marubani Corporation, Mytrah Energy (India), Giriraj Panawdle and Mahindra System.

    MSEDCL officials said that all the companies were enthusiastic in participating in the project. The tender was floated on December 24 and will be opened on January 29.

    Floating solar plants in the country are a rarity. At present the largest such plant is in Kerala having a capacity of 500 KW. Maharashtra Energy Development Agency (MEDA) is developing a 270kW floating plant in Wadgaon dam (district Nagpur).

    MSEDCL officials said that it would sign a power purchase agreement (PPA) with the developer for buying power for 25 years. “The maximum rate fixed by us is Rs3 per unit. We may appoint more than one company for the entire project as there are ten sites,” they said.

    Energy minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule has set a target of installing 7,500MW solar power plants in the state. Of this 2,500MW will be developed by Mahagenco with private help and remaining will be set up by other agencies including MSEDCL.

    GLAE develops USD 25 million solar power plant in Uganda

    Renewable Energy Magazine reported that United Kingdom registered, sub-Sahara focused energy solutions provider Great Lakes Africa Energy (GLAE) has completed the development of a $ 25million solar power generating plant in Uganda as part of a consortium with Uganda’s Xsabo Power Limited. GLAE acted as the lead financial and technical investor in the project, working with Xsabo Power to deliver the 24 MW Kabulasoke Solar Power Park in conjunction with the Uganda Electricity Transmission Company Limited. The project development teams completed critical commissioning tests on Christmas Day and managed to achieve Commercial Operations Start Date (COD), ahead of the New Year. The successful completion of the pilot commissioning tests now paves the way for the Kabulasoke Solar Power Park official commissioning on the Ugandan power grid for onward distribution to power consumers in coming days.

    According to GLAE Director, Michael Kearns, the Commercial Operations Start Date for the project, was achieved on Sunday, December 30th 2018 and duly confirmed by, as per terms of a 20-year Power Purchase Agreement with the Government of the Republic of Uganda.

    Mr Kearns said that “With the achievement of a COD milestone, we are now ready to undertake the ceremonial commissioning of the largest solar power park in East and Central Africa at the earliest opportunity.” He added that “The grid switching of the Kabulasoke project marks yet another milestone for GLAE alongside our other projects in Ndola Zambia and Rovuma in Mozambique, where we are providing energy solutions to power national development ideals.”

    Once officially commissioned, the Kabulasoke project, which is already connected to the national grid, will serve a population of more than 5 million in rural Uganda, who currently rely on kerosene; among other non-renewable energy sources while affording more than 21,000 tons of carbon savings.

    The Kabulasoke solar power park, features Tier 1 poly crystalline solar modules with an efficiency of 17.6 percent which is now highest in the industry ensuring a high energy yield. The engineering design for the project, also integrates a state of the art inverter plus power transformer solution to minimise energy losses. The GLAE Power plant design ensures less than 0.5 percent energy losses for the plant.

    ACWA to support solar panel manufacturing in Saudi Arabia

    Daily Star reported that ACWA Power plans to expand into solar panel manufacturing, its chief executive said, in a move which would put the power and water plants developer at the heart of Saudi Arabia’s plans to develop its renewable power industry. Riyadh-based ACWA Power, partly owned by Saudi’s Public Investment Fund, is in talks to become a manufacturer of solar panels, Paddy Padmanathan said in an interview, working with the sovereign wealth fund and Japan’s SoftBank on their USD 200 billion solar-power generation project.

    SoftBank Chief Executive Masayoshi Son announced in March last year a plan to invest in creating the world’s biggest solar power project in Saudi Arabia, a project expected to have the capacity to produce up to 200 gigawatts by 2030.

    The project is set to create thousands of jobs and develop a manufacturing industry in line with Saudi Arabia’s economic diversification plans laid out in its Vision 2030.

    Mr Padmanathan said that “ACWA, being a Saudi company, will be working with PIF and Softbank [...] we’re in discussions to become a solar panel manufacturer. ACWA Power plans to double its power production capacity by 2025 and to expand its operations to 25 markets from the current 12. We expect renewables to be a significant part of that growth.”

    ACWA mandated banks last year to sell a 30 percent stake through an initial public offering. Sources told Reuters at the time that JPMorgan, Citigroup, Natixis and Riyad Capital had been appointed to advise on that process.

    Mr Padmanathan said Monday that the IPO was postponed as the company had a lot of preparatory work to do and its balance sheet had to be “positioned in the right way,” but added that the company is still committed to a listing, and the banks that were mandated have retained their role.

    Tainergy to shift solar cell production to Vietnam

    Digi Times reported that solar cell maker Tainergy Tech will end production in China and Taiwan, and move it to Vietnam, with the relocation to be completed by the end of June 2019, according to company president Kevin Hsieh. Mr Hsieh noted that Tainergy has downsized annual production capacity from 1,200MWp in total at plants in China, Taiwan and Vietnam to 800MWp currently by writing off equipment with less productivity, Hsieh said. The company will further eliminate equipment and move the rest to its Vietnam plant.

    Mr Hsieh said that while the Vietnam plant current only produces poly-Si solar cells, Tainergy will upgrade an annual capacity of 100MWp for making mono-Si PERC by the end of March, and another 100MWp by the end of June 2019, Hsieh indicated. The annual capacity at the factory will consist of 200MWp for mono-Si PERC and 450MWp for poly-Si cells.

    The adjustment is to cope with drastic changes in the PV market since second-half 2018 following the US imposing safeguard tariffs on imported solar cells and PV modules, China imposing control on PV installations, the EU ending minimum import price on China-made solar products, Hsieh explained.

    The Vietnam plant has the advantage of proximity to the China market and exemption from India's safeguard tariffs, Hsieh noted. China and India each took up half of the factory's 2018 revenues and are expected to account for 30% and 70%, respectively, of the 2019 sales.

    Shipments to India are mostly of poly-Si solar cells because clients there care more about prices than performance, Hsieh indicated. For the India market, Tainergy is in talks with local makers about setting up a joint venture there, Hsieh said.

    As poly-Si solar cell quotes have risen 10% since the beginning of 2019, the Vietnam production is expected to swing to positive gross margin in January, Hsieh noted.

    Slovenia proposes community-owned solar power plants

    Xinhua reported that Slovenia has put into public debate changes to the decree on self-supply of electricity from renewables which would enable communities in multi-household residential buildings to establish a joint solar power plant, Slovenian Press Agency STA reported. Under the proposal, self-supply of electricity from renewables would no longer be flown only to owners of single-apartment buildings or business buildings, but also to various types of communities, according to the Ministry of Infrastructure. These include residents of multi-household residential buildings or residents in households standing close to each other. A solar power plant could be set up on the roof of an adjacent building, for example a kindergarten or a fire station, and the power it produces would be considered as produced by the community which had set it up.

    They would make an agreement in advance what share of energy produced would belong to each member of the community, the ministry added.

    The possibility of extended self-supply of electricity would have a positive impact on the economy, as it would facilitate the development of the solar energy industry, as well as reduce the burden on the electricity network.

    The solution also enables Slovenia to come closer to the objective of reaching a one quarter share of renewable energy in the gross final consumption of energy by 2020, the ministry said.

    The proposal has been welcomed by the environmental NGOs Focus and Greenpeace Slovenija and the Association of Slovenian Municipalities.

    The idea was announced by Infrastructure Minister Alenka Bratusek as she presented her bid to the relevant committee in September. She promoted the option of energy cooperatives for multi-household residential buildings, saying that “this is absolutely necessary and right.”

    Vermont deploys innovative panels on the Burlington waterfront

    Encore Renewable Energy announced that Vermont’s largest solar canopy to date, built by a public-private partnership for the Science Museum on the Burlington waterfront, has commenced generation of electricity. The 156kWp solar carport at the ECHO, Leahy Center for Lake Champlain employs innovative two-sided panels that capture reflected light as well as the direct rays of the sun, increasing its output. It was constructed at the same time as a new parking lot and a state-of-the-art stormwater pollution control system built by ECHO and the City of Burlington to help improve the water quality in Burlington’s inner harbor.

    Mr Chad Farrell, Chief Executive Officer of Burlington-based Encore Renewable Energy, which built and will operate the array said that “We are so pleased to have been able to work with ECHO and the City of Burlington in delivering this important project. This project is a strong example of the forward-looking thinking and action that we need from municipalities, non-profits and other organizations below the national level, to advance the clean energy economy and address the negative impacts of climate change.”

    The solar canopy project required complex engineering. Encore had to design for varying lakefront water levels, high winds, specific truck and bus traffic patterns at the Science Museum, and existing underground infrastructure. Due to ECHO’s location in Burlington’s previously industrialized waterfront, soil and water quality were continuously monitored throughout construction, in strict adherence to the State of Vermont’s regulatory process for environmentally contaminated property.

    Mr Phelan Fretz, Executive Director of ECHO said that “The opportunity is finding ways to take urban settings in which we already have high land use, like a parking lot, and turning it into renewable power production.”

    The project design called for innovative bifacial, or two-sided, solar panels to increase the electricity generated by capturing albedo light, the short-wave solar radiation reflected from the parking lot, parked vehicles and nearby lake surface. This higher output will increase the overall savings for the Science Museum.

    Mr Farrell said that “We are thrilled to support ECHO’s mission, and their commitment to continued education to improve energy production, land use development and water quality management.”

    Encore was responsible for coordinating and managing all aspects of the project including navigating the complex lakefront environmental and geotechnical issues, project design, permitting, financing, construction, and commissioning. In addition, Encore and one of its financing partners will own, operate and maintain the project.

    FPL announces groundbreaking '30-by-30' plan to install more than 30 million solar panels by 2030

    Florida Power & Light Company already a leader in solar energy, today announced a groundbreaking "30-by-30" plan to install more than 30 million solar panels by 2030 and make the state of Florida a world leader in the production of solar energy. FPL has secured solar sites throughout the state, which will enable the company to continue to cost effectively build solar energy centers across Florida. This bold plan will capture economies of scale and promote the construction of efficient and cost-effective solar generation. The end result will be the largest installation of solar panels by a regulated utility in the world and a 67 percent fleet-wide reduction in carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions rate by 2030 as compared to the national average.

    FPL and its sister company, NextEra Energy Resources, are already the world's largest producer of renewable energy from the wind and sun and, when this plan is completed, FPL expects to be the largest utility owner and operator of solar in America. Having advanced clean energy affordably for many years, including embarking upon one of the largest solar expansions in the country over the past two years, FPL also will be making unprecedented investments in advanced and innovative battery storage technology that will extend the use of clean, affordable solar energy even after the sun has gone down.

    Mr Eric Silagy, president and CEO of FPL said that "FPL is not your traditional electric company. We're a technology company that delivers power, and we've long believed in making smart, forward-thinking infrastructure investments to produce tangible, long-term benefits – cleaner air, lower electric rates and reliable service – for our customers and our state. Now we're taking our long-standing clean energy commitment to the next level. Bottom line, this bold, innovative plan is the right thing to do for our customers and for our fast-growing state, and we look forward to working with local and state officials and our regulators to make this vision a reality."

    Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said that "I am supportive of programs that will provide Floridians with greater access to affordable, clean energy which will help propel the State to a healthier future. We live in the Sunshine State and solar energy is a natural resource that should be seriously considered. FPL's initiative is important. As Florida's energy needs continue to grow at a rapid pace, it is important that we diversify our energy resources. This is vital to the economic well-being of our State and quality of life for residents."

    State Senator Bill Montford (D), Chairman of the Environment and Natural Resources Committee said that "FPL's '30-by-30' plan is a monumental commitment to the State of Florida, our clean energy progress and the economic well-being of our cities, counties and all Florida workers and residents.”

    China cools solar power drive

    Arab News reported that China put just over 43 gigawatts (GW) of new solar generation capacity into operation in 2018, down 18 percent from a year earlier, an industry group said, after a government move to curb new capacity and ease a subsidy payment backlog. The new generation took the country’s total installed solar power capacity to more than 170 GW by the end of the year, the China Photovoltaic Industry Association (CPIA) said.

    China announced last year that it would suspend new projects after a record 53 GW capacity increase in 2017 left it struggling to find spare grid capacity and pay a renewable subsidy backlog amounting to more than 140 billion yuan (USD 20.69 billion) last year.

    China is also aiming to gradually phase out direct financial support to the solar industry after a decline in costs, announcing last week that it would launch a series of new subsidy-free projects.

    But solar manufacturers are already feeling the pinch, and warned last year they were facing closure after a surge in new production capacity in previous years sent component prices plummeting.

    Mr Wang Bohua, CPIA vice-chairman, in a speech said that “Facing a lot of complicated domestic and overseas trends, the sector as a whole is under big pressures and substandard producers are expected to promptly exit the market.” Mr Wang said output of solar equipment continued to increase in 2018 despite the decline in new domestic capacity, with solar module production up 14.3 percent to an equivalent of 85.7 GW.

    Photon Energy secures financing for 11.5 MWp in Hungary

    Global solar power solutions and services company, Photon Energy, announced that it has closed a long-term non-recourse project financing agreement for its 11.5 MWp proprietary PV power plant portfolio in Hungary. The portfolio is comprised of 17 individual KÁT-licensed PV power plants in three different locations. Financing amounting to HUF 3.33 billion is being provided by K&H Bank, the Hungarian subsidiary of Belgian KBC Group N.V. and one of Hungary’s largest banking and financial services firms, as well as a leading local player in project finance, for a period of 15 years.

    The 0.5 MWp project in Fert?d (189 km west of Budapest) was grid-connected in March 2018. Eight projects in Tiszakécske (121 km southeast of Budapest), with a combined capacity of 5.5 MWp, were connected in December 2018, and an additional eight projects in Almásfüzit? (82 km northwest of Budapest), with a total capacity of 5.5 MWp, are expected to be connected by the end of January 2019.

    The group delivered the engineering, procurement and construction services for all power plants through its subsidiary Photon Energy Solutions HU Kft. The group’s subsidiary will provide long-term monitoring as well as operations and maintenance services to the power plants. Photon Energy covers the entire lifecycle of solar power systems.

    Since its foundation in 2008, the company has built and commissioned more than 60 MWp of solar power plants across two continents and supplied the technology for many more projects. The company is headquartered in Amsterdam and has offices in Europe and Australia.

    Alternus Energy completes acquisition of 3 PV Solar Parks

    Alternus Energy Inc a global renewable energy company announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, PC_Italia_02 S.r.l., recently completed the previously announced acquisition of 3 Italian solar PV parks from Liquid Sun S.r.l. Under the agreement, PC_Italia_02 S.r.l. paid EUR 3.65 million (approximately USD 4.25 million) for certain assets, agreements and liabilities related to the ownership and operation of the three power plants. The three parks represent a total of 2.24MW of installed power located in the Budrio and Anagni regions of Italy.

    The new parks, which have been operating for nearly 5 years, bring approximately EUR 600k (approximately USD 700k) additional annual revenues to ALTN with over 85% operating margins. The parks benefit from feed-in-tariff government incentives that guaranty a fixed sales price for every megawatt of energy that the parks generate over twenty years from the date of construction. As a result, ALTN has a backlog of approximately EUR 9.5 million (approximately USD 11 million at current exchange rates) of contracted revenues over the next 15 years. Thereafter the parks will continue to operate profitably and sell the energy generated to the national grid at the then market rates.

    Mr Vincent Browne, CEO, President and Chairman of Alternus Energy commented that “It is personally very pleasing to finally complete this acquisition that we announced in late 2017. It emphasizes our continued commitment and growth in the Italian market going forward with additional strategic acquisitions in the pipeline there. These parks, coupled with our continuing expansion in Germany and in addition to our organic business, underpin our growing recurring annual revenues and income streams over the long term. We plan continued growth in the European market, organically as well as through strategic acquisitions of alternative energy assets and technology. These activities will continue to deliver accretive positive earnings and cashflows to ALTN which in turn will drive long term shareholder value.”

    In order to fund the acquisition and associated costs, ALTN, through its Netherlands Holding company, entered into the following agreements with a third party accredited investor. The Company issued a loan note in the aggregate principal amount of EUR 3,849,333 accruing interest at 12% per annum and having a six month term and upon other terms and subject to the limitations and conditions set forth in the Note. Commensurate with the Note issuance, the Company also entered i) a Security Agreement whereby the Company grants a security interest in all of the Company’s property, and ii) a Guaranty whereby the Company guarantees the payment of the Note issued by PC Europe. ALTN is currently in negotiations with a leading bank in Italy to provide project finance for the parks that, if completed, will replace the Note with more suitable long-term financing.

    India may impose 5 year duty on Malaysian glass used in solar industry

    Economic Times reported that government may impose anti-dumping duty of USD 114.58 per tonne on a certain variety of Malaysian glass, used in solar industry, in a bid to guard domestic manufacturers from cheap imports. The commerce ministry's investigation arm Directorate General of Trade Remedies has recommended the duty on 'textured tempered coated and uncoated glass' imported from Malaysia.

    Gujarat Borosil Ltd had asked DGTR for alleged dumping probe and imposition of the duty. In its probe, the directorate has concluded that there has been material injury to the domestic industry due to the dumping of this glass from Malaysia.

    DGTR said in a notification that "The authority recommends imposition of definitive anti-dumping duty on the imports for five years.”

    The final decision to impose the duty will be taken by the finance ministry.

    Countries carry out anti-dumping probe to determine whether their domestic industries have been hurt because of a surge in cheap imports.

    As a counter measure, they impose duties under the multilateral regime of the WTO.

    The duty is aimed at ensuring fair trading practises and creating a level-playing field for domestic producers with regard to foreign producers and exporters.
