Again the government has decided to take the wrong path to economic recovery. Believe it is more desirable in the current crisis in which we are submerged, pay the tariff deficit to power companies to stop breathing to consumers, sole traders and entrepreneurs.
A rise in electricity tariff as unfair as that carried out by the government early next year, will impact all longed for a climate favorable for economic recovery. First discourages the consumption, investment and production. Secondly makes our products less competitive abroad, as the price of one of the factors of production, electricity is expensive. Finally, families will spend most of their income to savings, so consumption will be strongly influenced by this decision. If consumption falls, we face a drop in demand, and thus a further drop in supply, as companies may not market as much production as before, as there is sufficient demand to absorb so much on offer . In short, our economy loses bellows inside and outside our borders.
The problem is long, and is something understood by all you have to walk in their solution. The electricity problem in Spain is worth around 1% of annual GDP, exactly 10.829 million euros the previous year. About half of that amount, 4.615 million euros in 2009 and 852 million during the first quarter of this year, are the rate increases in the deficit, and the remaining 6.214 million euros last year and premiums 1,639 million scheme during the first four months of this year is due to renewable energy (78.5% to includes solar photovoltaic and solar thermal, wind, hydro special regime, biomass, waste and waste treatment) and cogeneration (21.5%), which is not. We played a little over 200 euros per inhabitant per year. How did we get to it?, There are two reasons:
The tariff deficit is the difference between what the consumer pays and the cost recognized by the controller (another thing is the actual costs). This difference remains in limbo accounting accrued in the accounts of the utilities. Are recognized by the state amounts in the future be paid, no one knows how.
premiums special arrangements are payments from the budget of the State, generating companies of certain renewable energy.
makers tariff deficit have been the successive governments, could contain runaway inflation artificially, at times not so distant, and providing the economic flattery voters.
We must change our energy model to be competitive, it is truly fundamental to look ahead with optimism. It is true that we resolve our debt rate with utilities, but also no less true that it is not the time to make more sacrifices to English households.
The government has unwittingly come to the policies long criticized the PSOE, cut social rights, precarious employment and unemployment, and the development of a set of laws recently approved against penalizing economic growth and consumption.
My wish for the coming year 2011 is the calling of general elections. If we end the crisis in which we are immersed, and do it with the least possible cost to the forthcoming generations must be given the power of voice and vote to citizens. Our country can not permit or tolerate several years of delays in convergence with the most advanced in the world.
