The President of Cyprus, Nikos Christodoulides, returns the law, which concerns the compensation of surplus energy from photovoltaic systems, to Parliament for re-examination, invoking the existence of serious issues of a constitutional nature.
In his text he explains that the law forces the Council of Ministers to decide, in an official way, how the additional energy that is produced will be paid.
However, it is not ensured that the cost of the compensation can be covered through the existing mechanisms of the electricity market, with the result that a burden on the state budget may arise, without the required governmental consent.
This law was proposed by the DIKO MP, Michalis Giakoumis, and its aim is to correct problems in the schemes for residential photovoltaics.
He also states that there is a problem because the law seems to apply also to earlier cases, even before it came into force and at the same time, he considers that Parliament enters into matters that are the responsibility of the Council of Ministers.
The regulation, also, may create incompatibilities with the existing framework of energy policy and the current self-consumption schemes, affecting the way in which the relevant support mechanisms are implemented.
This law was proposed by the DIKO MP, Michalis Giakoumis, and its aim is to correct problems in the schemes for residential photovoltaics, so that the additional energy that is produced is paid and is not lost.
