COMMUNIQUE DE PRESSE
Jean-Louis BORLOO dévoile les nouveaux tarifs
d’achat de l’électricité photovoltaïque



Jean-Louis BORLOO, ministre d’Etat, ministre de l’Ecologie, de l’Energie, du
Développement durable et de la Mer a saisi le Conseil supérieur de l’énergie sur les
nouveaux tarifs auxquels les Français pourront vendre l’électricité produite avec des
panneaux photovoltaïques. Le nouveau dispositif tarifaire conforte et pérennise le
soutien financier à l’énergie solaire : grâce au Grenelle Environnement, la France se
donne les moyens d’atteindre des objectifs ambitieux et de construire une véritable
filière industrielle.

Les principaux éléments du nouveau dispositif tarifaire, applicable au 1er janvier 2010,
sont les suivants :

- Les installations avec « intégration au bâti » bénéficieront toujours du tarif de
60.2 c€ / kWh. Les règles d’intégration au bâti sont améliorées, de sorte que ce tarif, qui
est le plus élevé au monde, favorise les solutions architecturales et esthétiques les plus
accomplies, et positionne les industriels et artisans sur un secteur innovant et à forte
valeur ajoutée. Afin de renforcer la qualité de la mise en œuvre, l’installateur devra
remettre un certificat attestant que les ouvrages ont été conçus et réalisés dans le
respect de la réglementation et des règles de l’art.

- Les installations avec « intégration simplifiée au bâti » pourront bénéficier d’un
nouveau tarif, fixé à 45 c€ / kWh. La création de ce nouveau tarif favorisera le
développement du solaire sur les bâtiments professionnels (bâtiments agricoles,
industriels, commerciaux, …). Ce tarif est réservé aux installations d’une puissance
supérieure à 3 kWc (soit une surface de panneaux s’environ 30 m2), le Gouvernement
souhaitant privilégier, pour les maisons individuelles, des solutions totalement intégrées
au bâti.

- Pour des raisons architecturales, les installations avec « intégration au bâti » et avec
« intégration simplifiée au bâti » devront être installées selon le plan de la toiture (sauf
cas des allèges, bardages, brise-soleil, garde-corps, murs-rideaux).
- Les installations au sol pourront toujours bénéficier du tarif de 32.8 c€ / kWh. En outre,
pour les installations au sol d’une puissance supérieure à 250 kWc, le tarif variera
désormais de 32.8 c€ / kWh pour les régions métropolitaines les plus ensoleillées à
39.4 c€ / kWh pour les régions les moins ensoleillées. Cette modulation géographique
permettra une meilleure répartition des centrales solaires sur le territoire national.

Afin de garantir une bonne insertion environnementale des centrales solaires, de
prévenir les éventuels conflits d’usage et d’améliorer la concertation locale, un
décret précisera prochainement que ces installations devront faire l’objet d’une demande
de permis de construire, d’une étude d’impact et d’une enquête publique.

- Les formalités administratives sont simplifiées, avec la suppression des obligations
déclaratives et du certificat délivré jusqu’ici par les DREAL/DRIRE. Seule une attestation
sur l’honneur est désormais exigée pour déterminer le régime tarifaire applicable.

- Une Commission d’évaluation de l’intégration au bâti, composée d’experts, est créée
sous l’égide du ministère, du CSTB et de l’ADEME. La Commission tiendra à jour une
liste publique des systèmes photovoltaïques reconnus comme remplissant les critères
d’intégration au bâti, afin d’accompagner tous ceux qui souhaitent s’équiper de
panneaux photovoltaïques dans le choix des équipements et d’assurer une
information transparente sur les tarifs applicables.

- Les tarifs seront maintenus inchangés jusqu’en 2012 inclus. Afin de donner une
visibilité de long terme aux acteurs, le projet d’arrêté comprend une formule
d’indexation dégressive des tarifs à compter de 2013, qui permettra d’ajuster le
niveau de soutien à l’évolution des prix induite par les évolutions technologiques.

- Une période transitoire est prévue, afin de laisser aux professionnels concernés une
période d’adaptation : les nouvelles règles d’intégration au bâti prendront leur plein effet
au 1er juin 2010.

- La Corse, les départements et collectivités d’outre-mer bénéficieront d’un régime
particulier.

Le ministère de l’Ecologie, de l’Energie, du Développement durable et de la Mer a transmis
aujourd’hui au Conseil supérieur de l’énergie, instance consultative regroupant l’ensemble
des acteurs intéressés par l’énergie, le projet d’arrêté fixant les nouveaux tarifs d’achat de
l’électricité photovoltaïque. Ce projet d’arrêté, élaboré en étroite concertation avec les
acteurs concernés, concrétise la réforme tarifaire prévue par le Plan de développement des
énergies renouvelables du Grenelle Environnement, présenté le 17 novembre 2008. Le
projet d’arrêté, éventuellement amendé après concertation avec les parties représentées au
Conseil supérieur de l’énergie, sera ensuite transmis pour avis à la Commission de
régulation de l’énergie.

« Simplifications administratives et fiscales, réduction des délais de raccordement,
lancement d’un appel d’offres pour la construction d’ici 2011 d’au moins une centrale
solaire dans chaque région française, un effort massif en faveur de la recherche et de
l’innovation… et maintenant un dispositif tarifaire plus efficace donnant une visibilité
de long terme : tout est fait pour accélérer le développement de l’énergie solaire en
France. Et avec le projet de loi Grenelle 2 qui sera examiné la semaine prochaine au
Sénat, nous allons aller encore plus loin », a déclaré Jean-Louis BORLOO.

San Jose CA (SPX) Sep 09, 2009
The French retailer Casino Group and SunPower have announced that SunPower will supply 14 megawatts of high-efficiency solar photovoltaic panels to the supermarket conglomerate by the end of this year.

Casino Group will use the panels to install solar power systems ranging from 900 kilowatts to 5 megawatts on rooftops and parking structures on supermarket locations in mainland France and the islands of Mayotte and La Reunion.

"This is the first step of a major new renewable energy initiative for Casino, which includes a pipeline of projects to be developed over the next several months," said Casino Chief Real Estate and Development Officer Jacques Ehrmann.

"SunPower's proven high-efficiency technology generates the most power in space constrained areas. This will allow us to maximize the amount of clean, renewable solar power that will be produced at our facilities, and reinforces our commitment to sustainable development."

"As a successful business leader with one of the largest retail networks in France, Casino understands that solar power today offers a great return on investment. We are delighted to partner with Casino in significantly expanding the rooftop solar market in France," said SunPower Senior Director Jorn Jurgens.

SunPower will supply Casino with its SunPower 315 Solar Panel and SunPower 305 Solar Panel, offering 315-watts and 305-watts per panel, respectively. These panels are comprised of 96 SunPower solar cells that deliver more energy production per square meter than conventional panels.

The 315-watt SunPower solar panel currently offers the industry's highest conversion efficiency of 19.3 percent. Some of the systems will be considered building-integrated photovoltaic systems under the French feed-in-tariff program.

With its European headquarters in Geneva, SunPower systems have been installed on facilities operated by the Bon Preu Esclat supermarket chain in Spain, and on multiple rooftops for US-based retailers such as Target, Wal-Mart Stores, Macy's and Lowe's.

Case Study: The Suntech Weinbourg Farm project, France
26 November 2009 | By Emma Hughes | News > Design-BuildSolar

*The Weinbourg Farm solar project, utilizing the Just Roof system from Suntech is one for the world's largest BIPV solar systems. The project, which was completed in 2009, spreads out over five agricultural warehouses in France.

The system, designed and developed by Jean-Luc Westphal and la société Créaelec and owned by Hanau Energies is 4.5MW, consists of 26,470 panels over an area of 36,000m2 and saves an estimated 4,500,000kWh annually.

The Weinbourg Farm projectWhile Hanau Energies owns the project, their buildings are also located on site including central offices, showroom, amphitheater and a parking lot. "For me, Just Roof is the best BIPV solution available. The system is quick to install, has an excellent aesthetic finish, and offers the best combination of value and quality. Suntech is the only company with a truly integrated BIPV system that is able to supply in the necessary quantities." Jean-Luc Westphal president, Hanau Energies.

The Weinbourg Farm projectSuntech's solar roof system was originally released in 1994 and has already been installed on over 4,000 homes and commercial buildings on a global scale. The roofing system features interlocking panels mounted on specially designed rails to give a highly aesthetic weatherproof building skin that can be installed quickly and with ease.

France's BIPV feed-in tariff has been revised in order to promote the growth of this type of integration. The FiT is now set at €0.60/kWh, which is the highest in the world. Suntech is just one company that has taken advantage of this tariff with its aggressive range of BIPV products.

Solar slashing: France’s solar feed-in tariff to be cut by up to 12%
24 August 2010 | By Emma Hughes | Editor's Blog


Local press reports in France have pointed towards feed-in tariff cuts for solar power installations. The French government is expected to follow the trend in solar slashing to keep its policy in line with the massive price drops apparent across the industry.

The government has supposedly alerted the Commission de Régulation de l'Énergie (CRE) of its intention to lower the solar FiT with effect from 1 September 2010. The report issued outlines that France remains ahead of its objectives set out in its environmental manifesto, La Grenelle Environnement and thus, the cuts should not affect the country's renewable energy goals.

The proposed cuts are to be around 12% and will be aimed at large-scale ground and roof mounted systems. This type of project is currently offered between €0.314 and €0.377, depending on the average solar irradiation of its specific location. Individual residential installations will not be affected by the changes.

The report says: "The cost of the PV sector has become very attractive, with lower module costs thanks to the development of production capacity in Asia, and a collapse in prices linked to the Spanish crisis."

High electricity prices caused by the FiT are also key factors in the decision to cut, according to the report. The cost of this is initially covered by the energy provider, but is ultimately borne by consumers as it is passed down through EDF.

This will not be the first time the country has made revisions to its feed-in tariff. Back in September 2009 the country's government replaced its three-year old solar FiT with a far more generous system, which spurred a torrent of project applications. The government now admits that this change was made based on "outdated cost assumptions" which have put the country in a situation of overly enthusiastic project applications.

The government claims that in the two months following the increase in FiT payments it received over 2GW of project applications. There are now over 60,000 applications awaiting approval.

Following this, the government took a hard look at the figures and realized that if the tariff was not cut, and soon, then the average customer could be facing a 10% hike in electricity prices. This then of course prompted the change.

What the country is likely to face now, is yet another flurry of project applications which aim to benefit from the higher FiT rate before the cuts take effect. This could put the energy providers in a worse position than they are now, yet this should be resolved as we go into 2011.

France is the latest in a long line of European countries to cut their subsidies for solar power, following Germany, Italy and the Czech Republic, who have all made amendments to their policies using the same reasoning.

France is Planning to Reduce Subsidies for Solar Power, Les Echos Reports
By Tara Patel - Nov 30, 2010 7:33 AM GMT+0100


The French government is preparing a plan to cut subsidies for solar energy, Les Echos reported, citing people it didn’t identify.

French Prime Minister Francois Fillon will meet ministers in two days to discuss a possible lowering by about 10 percent in the price paid by Electricite de France SA for solar power and a cap on the annual volume of installations, according to the newspaper.

France Plans Temporary Freeze on Solar Projects to End `Bubble,' PM Says
By Tara Patel - Dec 2, 2010 5:49 PM GMT+0100



France plans to temporarily freeze new solar projects as part of a plan to end a “veritable speculative bubble” that has emerged in the industry, French Prime Minister Francois Fillon said today.

“The flourishing of solar in France, which is faster than expected, comes at a cost to local government and consumers,” Fillon said in a statement today. “Development relies on a feed-in tariff for electricity that is very favorable to producers.”

Fillon didn’t announce a further reduction in the tariffs paid by Electricite de France SA for solar power as reports this week suggested would be the case. Instead, the prime minister said a new regulatory framework would be put in place by March. Long-term targets for solar development have already been surpassed “justifying” the new rules, he said.

Solar development targets for 2012 will be reached “within weeks,” Fillon said. The new rules aim to balance a target of 500 megawatts of new solar projects a year and protecting consumers by keeping power prices in check.

The freeze excludes household solar panels with a capacity of less than 3 kilowatts, according to the statement. For bigger ventures, the government plans to pass a decree “to temporarily suspend the registration of new projects.”

France’s solar industry has come under scrutiny in recent months as capacity expanded while subsidized tariffs remained relatively high and costs dropped. The government cut the so-called feed-in tariff for solar power twice this year.

‘Wise’ Decision

“Feed-in tariffs will be lowered. The question is how quickly and whether they will be accompanied by caps on capacity,” Richard Loyen, head of industry group Enerplan, said by telephone. He called decision to impose a three-month moratorium on new projects eligible for the subsidy “wise.”

Feed-in tariffs require utilities to buy electricity from renewable sources at more than the standard rate. EDF, France’s former power monopoly, pays more for solar power than for the nuclear power it produces at 58 reactors and what it can buy on European spot electricity markets. The added cost is passed on to consumers through the tax.

The regulator estimates that EDF will pay an average of 546 euros ($722) a megawatt-hour for solar power in 2011. This compares with estimated spot market power prices of 55 euros.

Bonn, 10. März 2011

Frankreichs Regierung zieht alle Register: Nach PV-Moratorium und Deckelung treten heute die neuen, deutlich gekürzten Fördertarife in Kraft.
Erst im Dezember 2010 verkündete Frankreichs Premierminister François Fillon den Beschluss eines Photovoltaik-Moratorium, demzufolge vorerst keine neuen PV Anlagen genehmigt werden sollten. Ausgenommen davon nur die privaten Kleinanlagen bis 3 kW. Diesem Moratorium folgte im Februar die Ankündigung einer strikten Begrenzung des jährlichen PV Zubaus auf 500 MW und schließlich die heute beschlossene Senkung der Förderung.

Bonn/Paris. Künftig erhalten Photovoltaikanlagen mit einer Leistung von mehr als 100 kW nur noch eine pauschale Vergütung von 12 €-Cent pro Kilowattstunde (kWh), das gab die französische Umweltministerin Nathalie Kosciuso-Morizet jetzt bekannt. Die heute in Kraft gesetzten Tarife gelten demnach unabhängig davon, ob die Anlagen auf einem Dach oder einer Freifläche installiert werden. Für Freiflächen bedeuten die Absenkungen einen massiven Einschnitt von mindestens 57 Prozent im Vergleich zu den Vergütungen vom September 2010. Für Aufdachanlagen liegt die prozentuale Kürzung gar bei 70 Prozent.

Die Einspeisetarife für kleine PV Systeme sollen dagegen vorerst um 20 Prozent sinken und im Verlauf des Jahres pro Quartal noch einmal um jeweils zehn Prozentpunkte gesenkt werden. „Damit werden die in Frankreich vergleichsweise hohen PV Tarife an die Vergütungen der Nachbarländer angepasst“, sagt Markus Monssen-Wackerbeck, Leiter des Kernbereichs Energy & Utilities bei EuPD Research. Diese Anpassungen seinen zwar ambitioniert, führten aber langfristig zu der dringend notwendigen Bereinigung von Ländermarkt spezifischen Verwerfungen im Preisniveau der PV Anlagen, so Monssen-Wackerbeck.

Insgesamt, so schätzen Marktexperten, lasse sich aufgrund dieser Änderungen in der französischen Solarförderung Teile der bislang geplanten Solarprojekte vorerst nicht mehr realisieren. Laut der Solarinitiative „Toche Pas à Mon Panneau Solaire“ waren bereits im Dezember, zu Beginn des von der Regierung verordneten Baustopps, Projekte von 5,3 GW in der Projektpipeline, für die teilweise schon Netzanschlüsse und Baugenehmigungen erteilt wurden. Andere Quellen sprechen von mehr als drei Gigawatt im Planungsvorlauf.

„Für diese Projekte wird es jetzt eng“, weiß Markus A.W. Hoehner, CEO des Bonner Marktforschungs- und Beratungshauses EuPD Research. „Die Anlagen wurden auf einer völlig anderen Berechnungsgrundlage geplant und müssen nun teilweise neu kalkuliert werden“, so die Einschätzung. Einen Abgesang auf den französischen PV Markt stimmen die Marktforscher von EuPD Research trotz allem nicht an. „Diesen Druck muss die Industrie jetzt nutzen um die hohen Systempreise im Land auf ein wettbewerbsgerechtes, europäisches Niveau zu bringen“, ergänzt Markus A.W. Hoehner. Aktuell, so belegen die Zahlen des Europäischen Preismonitors von EuPD Research, kosten PV System unter 10 kW im Mittel rund 4.400 Euro, in der Spitze sogar 6.000 Euro. Für Systeme zwischen 10 und 100 kW zahlt man im Mittel immerhin noch 3.860 Euro.

Für die nächsten Monate prognostizieren die Marktexperten von EuPD Research dennoch eher sinkende Zubauten. „Der Markt bereinigt sich in den nächsten Monaten, doch gerade im Bereich der privaten Aufdachanlagen hat Frankreich noch ungehobene Potentiale. Hersteller die jetzt auf den sich verschärfenden Kostendruck reagieren und sich mit hoher Qualität, einer starken Marke und in einem passenden Segment aufstellen, können diese Änderungen verkraften“, so Markus Monssen-Wackerbeck, Leiter des Kernbereichs Energy & Utilities bei EuPD Research.
