Czechs seek to temper solar investment boom
REUTERS - The Czech Republic does not spring to mind as one of Europe's hot spots, yet an over-used subsidy scheme has created a bonanza for solar power that has ignited fears of a spike in energy prices and grid instability.
Lawmakers are now gearing up to cut the country's generous
solar incentives, which investors say is needed to cool off the
boom that made the Czechs the third-largest builders of solar
capacity behind Germany and Italy last year.
