Spain is proceeding with plans to cut prices for solar power from new generators, the Industry Ministry said, after talks on broader changes to renewable energy subsidies broke down last week.
Spain’s 52,000 photovoltaic-panel installations earn as much as 440 euros ($573) a megawatt-hour, or almost 10 times the futures price for 2011 power in the wholesale market.
The Spanish Banking Association estimated domestic banks have loaned 40 billion euros to renewable-energy projects. Some 600 photovoltaic plant operators may face bankruptcy if the subsidies are cut, the Photovoltaic Industry Association has said.
