CSP Today: Chile Debates Green Tax That Can Make Solar More Competitive
London - UK (PRWEB) April 28, 2014 -- According to Felipe Cerón, General Manager at AES Gener, the “green tax” will turn thermoelectric plants less competitive by raising their energy prices. However, other members of the industry as Joaquín Galindo, CEO of Endesa Chile, and Andrés Kuhlmann, General Manager from Transelec, are not sure about the real consequences of the tax.
By making thermoelectric plants less competitive, concentrated solar power (CSP) and photovoltaic (PV) plants can become more attractive to develop as their prices will drop in comparison. Moreover, a CSP plant combined with storage can take the place of a thermoelectric plant as it can supply energy continuously.
At ChileSol 2014 (27 & 28 May, Santiago de Chile), the international PV industry will meet to discuss the plans to develop the sector in the country. Javier Arrellano, General Manager from SolarPack Chile, Nicolas Sadon, Director at Solairedirect Chile, and Gustavo Boetsche, CEO at Kaltemp, will be among the top level speakers that will share their plans in the market.
