"Not successful" according to conservative publication The Economist. A massive uptake in solar and wind power seems successful to me. They just need to iron out some kinks in the incentive scheme.
- JetSpiegel 12y agoIndeed. Portugal had a similar system, the kinks are that the subsidies are a bit high, there's a lot of people buying solar panels just to sell the power back to the network. This is because the price per kilowatt uploaded is more expensive than downloaded. This is great, you get a big installed base with this short-term carrot, and when the subsidies are removed the panels are still in use. Win-win.
