Crucial day for the new incentive program with the final meeting between Italians regions and the government +++ Possible softer tariff-cut for 2011-2012 +++ International Solar companies to appeal against a retroactive regulation
27.04.2011: The crucial meeting for the future Italian photovoltaic incentive program is scheduled for today 28 Apr., 2011, at the Ministry of Regional Affairs, where the regions are called to give final advice on the decree draft, despite the divisions emerging during the past week between the regional governments, which will try to find a common position in a meeting preceeding the one with the government. Meanwhile, an anonymous source from the Ministry of Industry said that the government could soften the tariff reduction for the two-year period 2011-2012, receiving the requests submitted by the regions and the associations during the past week. A few international solar companies, with signifiant interests in the Italian market, wrote a letter to the Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi and the other Ministers to threaten an appeal to an international arbitration if the new regulation will have retroactive effects or will not ensure the conditions of stability and legal certainty for the investors, guaranteed by international treaties.
