Mediterranean Solar Bloc Investors Need Clear Rules, EU Says
By Ben Sills
May 11 (Bloomberg) -- Spain and its Mediterranean neighbors must provide consistent rules for investors if they are to achieve their renewable energy goals, according to a European Union official.

“Investors need clarity and predictability as regards a wide range of issues,” Fabrizio Barbaso, assistant director general of the European Commission’s Energy Directorate, told a conference in Valencia, Spain.

The Spanish government fueled a cycle of boom and bust the past three years as it shifted the incentives for solar power investors. Producers pumped more than 18 billion euros ($23 billion) into new solar plants since 2008 after Spain introduced a subsidy regime that paid them more than 10 times the wholesale power price.

Investors yanked their support for Spain’s solar industry this year after the Industry Ministry said it may cut those prices that Renovalia Energy SA President Juan Domingo Ortega said he expected his existing plants to enjoy for 25 years.
Officials from Spain, Italy, Portugal and Greece are meeting colleagues from Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria to discuss plans to generate solar electricity in North Africa to power European industry. The initiative is part of the EU’s efforts to generate 20 percent of its power from renewable sources by 2020.  

“There is a challenge in mobilizing financing,” Spain’s deputy minister for energy, Pedro Marin, told delegates. “It won’t be enough unless we manage to raise significant foreign investment.”Renovalia and Grupo T-Solar Global SA postponed initial public offerings that aimed to raise about 400 million euros in the past month after the government’s comments undermined support from investors.

Solar Opportunities SL Chief Executive Officer Paul Turney said he is reconsidering almost 1 billion euros of investment， he had planned to make in Spanish solar plants through 2011. Solar Opportunities has 240 million euros of equity to invest and borrows additional capital to leverage its deals.
