Bright rejects that agreement has been reached on the new legislation, as its essential contributions – its complete exemption photovoltaicprogressivity in the wind and total exemption from own useamong others – have not been treated, which confirms that the The objectives of these regional taxes are merely collection. He Energy cluster emphasizes that the new costs will slow growth renewable energy in the Community of Aragon and attracting new investments, which has a very negative impact on the development of the region.
The Aragon energy cluster (Clenar) regrets that the autonomous law of Aragon why they were made new environmental taxes on the operation of wind and photovoltaic parks in the autonomous community it has a purely fundraising objective.
According to the explanatory memorandum to the law, these are: new taxes They try to compensate for possible negative environmental and social externalities and promote the reduction of the impact caused by the operation of the parks. renewable. However, this environmental compensation is not reflected in the legal articles or its transitional provisions. Brightwhich rejects having participated in the consensus of the said law, since its essential contributions (the complete exemption from the photovoltaicprogressivity in the wind and total exemption from own useamong others) were rejected, warning in addition to the risk that these new taxes They mean both for the current sustainable energy sector in the community and for attracting new investments, and thus have a very negative impact on the economic development of the autonomous community.
Based on its commitment to the territory and the energy transition, the Aragon energy cluster think this one taxes will lead to a negative impact on the competitiveness of the region’s economy and industry, while at the same time – immediately on the part of investors and developers of wind and photovoltaic parks– a disincentive for investments in electricity production facilities and renewable hydrogenThe latter are still in an early stage of development and therefore require appropriate and favorable regulations by government authorities.
For all this is the Aragon energy cluster urges the autonomous government not to continue processing the flow Environmental Tax Act and requires consensus in order to be able to prepare a new legal text for the benefit of the Community of Aragon.
To formulate new legal regulations that affect the renewableHe Aragon energy cluster believes that the Government of Aragon must address a range of considerations.
Clenar is rebelling against the collection of regional taxes on wind and photovoltaic parks
- Consider the environmental, social and economic benefits of renewable energy installations, which contribute substantially to mitigating the effects of climate change without causing significant harm to other environmental objectives when implemented. Moreover, environmental control tools already exist in project permitting procedures. It is therefore advisable to assess the convenience and design of this approach, as it has a negative effect on investments. renewable and therefore hinder the ability to offer more competitive prices.
- Understand that Aragonese fiscal policies cannot put them at a competitive disadvantage compared to other regions in the wind sector. The approval of this law means that Aragon It is the community that bears the most burden wind sector (in some cases up to 80% above the Spanish average).
- Recognize that Aragon will become the first community to tax renewable photovoltaic production and therefore also includes production photovoltaic in the collection system.
- Please note that Aragón has become the community with the highest tax burden in Spain in terms of renewable energythus discouraging investments in clean energy compared to other autonomous communities.
- Commit to new, clear and effective environmental tax legislationwhich reflected the proportionality of the tax compared to the impact generated and served to adapt old parks and infrastructures to regulations.
- Transferring trust and legal certainty to the sector that guarantees the development of new investments in generation and enables the implementation of new generation projects renewable for all Aragonese industrial sectors, which will result in a global competitive improvement of the Aragonese industry.
Renewable energies: a strategic sector for Aragon
He renewable energy sector in Aragon is a fundamental pillar for the sustainable development of the region: the remarkable growth in the generation of clean, sustainable and inexhaustible energy, supported by comprehensive regulations and pioneering regulations, places Aragon as a reference when promoting renewable energy on national level. The region’s determined commitment renewable energy has placed it in production as the second community wind on national level. In addition, Aragon is a generational leader photovoltaic in the northern half of the Iberian Peninsula. The impulse of renewable sector in Aragon This is reflected in the remarkable increase in green production, which has reached 14,665 GWh, representing 80.3% of the global number.
The sector of renewable energy sources in Aragon has experienced remarkable growth in recent years and has become a fundamental pillar for the development of the region. Aragón has positioned itself as a power in the generation of clean, sustainable and inexhaustible energy, underlining its leadership in manufacturing wind and photovoltaic energy. The region has doubled its renewable energy production over five years, from 54% to 80.3% of the total, thanks to a significant investment in wind farms and solar power plants. This trend is supported by extensive, demanding and restrictive regulations, which guarantee sustainability and respect for the valuable Aragonese natural heritage.
The importance of resources renewable led to Aragon to adopt a ground-breaking regulation to facilitate and accelerate projects in this area. The billion-dollar investment in wind farms and photovoltaic installations This has been made possible thanks to these regulations, which have allowed an increase in installed power in the region.
