Israel Clears Way for Residential Solar Feed-In Tariffs
SUSTAINABLEBUSINESS - Israel's Minister of National Infrastructure (MNI) has authorized a new incentive policy for residential and small industrial solar power installations up to 50 kilowatts (kW)in size. A feed-in-tariff will be set by the Israeli Public Utilities Authority. Previous reports suggested the incentive will be set at 1.61 NIS (EUR 0.31) per kWh.
According to the authorized quotas, tariffs for residential arrays up to 4kW will be uncapped until December 2014. Similarly, tariffs for industrial installations (15-50kW) installed in periphery, or non-urban areas, also will not be capped.
