The low prices Electricity that has been derived from spring this year and then consumers testify at the same time a bad reality for their investors photovoltaic. The focus is the notorious production cuts.
The fact that RES are now dominated by power generation with percentages that reach 50%daily is translated into reduced electricity values. But at the same time it means that several hours of the day the production of photovoltaic surpasses demand and is lost.
These units are ordered to stop operating temporarily, which translates into disapproval profits. The phenomenon is now particularly noticeable during the summer months as opposed to the past, so it is not limited to spring. This year the cuts are estimated to exceed every other year. As a result, they are a strong brake on investment interest in new projects, since the proceeds of this activity are estimated to be limited by 10-15%.
The turn is already evident, as the Bloomberg New Energy Finance has said that Greece was one of the four markets worldwide with the most intense decline in investment in the first half.
Photovoltaic owners are waiting for and how to get the first storage units in the system to reduce the giggles that go lost. However, investors in the storage industry say they cannot adhere to the timetable imposed by the state and wants the first projects ready by the end of 2025. They demanded an extension until the summer of 2026, citing the slow licensing process and high time of supply.
They have now made their appearance and more unorthodox solutions for those who have photovoltaics. Indicative is the example of a Greek company that offers equipment and software for bitcoin mining to these units, during the hours they would not work anyway. Thus, owners can even regain some of the lost revenue, although they will be exposed to the intense variability of the cryptocurrency.
