The production with cogeneration collapses 14% in August

The collapse of the production in August -after the new economic cuts of July-, and the acceleration in the process of enclosures of plants, summary the current moment of the cogeneration in Spain. And between the industrial cogeneradores the uncertainty acrecienta in front of the fault of information and explanation on how will be the developments of the reform in course.

In the past month of August the production of electricity in cogeneration descended 14% in reference to the realizar a year before (see inform Electrical Network), whereas, by the contrary the production of the electrical power in the special diet grew 12% in what it goes of exercise. This means that while all the renewable grow widely, the cogeneration is the only that decrece, on line with the consumption.

The sector cogenerador debate in front of a dynamics of progressive enclosures: 20% of the cogenerations are stopped. To May, 219 plants of the 1.007 existent did not have activity, what supposes a stop of 12% of the total power in cogeneration and that, in only the five first months of 2013 have stopped 43 plants. The unemployed power has grown 50% in relation to the previous year until the point that 25% of the plants with 15 years of operation are without activity.

The cuts executed to the cogeneration add already 712 million euros, minorando 22% of the reward for all the plants and for the ones of more than 15 years of antiquity the cut means until 40% less than the income. They are, by volume and intensity, incomparable in relation to the effected to other technologies, something inexplicable and unfair when it treats of a technology without growth from 2002 and that was 30% underneath of the aim of planned development for 2012, evident proof of his scarce profitability, already tremendously adjusted before the energetic reform.
