The Association of producers of renewable energies (APPA) welcomed the intention of the Government to suspend for one year the obligation to schedule the energy and therefore the penalty by detours, as it had been proposing the Association before the RD 436 that was adopted last March.

The Association has been informed of the intention of the Ministry of industry in a meeting that has been maintained with the Secretary of energy, Antonio Fernandez Segura, in which a representation of APPA has moved to the Secretary-general's concerns of its more than 250 member companies. The postponement, unless unfavourable report by the Council of State, opens a period of deep reflection on the changes in the Royal Decree of special regime, to be held during the first half of next year.
