From 2024, the system becomes “easier” to understand. A Walloon who installs panels will resell his electricity directly to suppliers (Octa+, Luminus, etc.). Will it be profitable or is it nonsense?
Quite clearly. This type of supplier will not buy back more than the market price. In my opinion, we will be at 40 or 50€ for 1000 kw/h. In fact, since the reverse counter system disappears, the owners will “benefit” fully when they self-consume everything they produce.
We have already said that there would be no more incentives. Will it remain interesting to install panels or not?
Yes, but it will really be necessary to reduce the size of the installation to consume a maximum of its production. During 2024 we will also make group purchases of batteries.
Since the rules change in January, many Walloons are rushing to install signs. There are no shortages and the installers have good order books. Are we still in chaos?
Yes, and we’ve been used to it for 10 years. The problem is that we are always in intermediate periods. There, everyone rushes. I say that installers will experience a drastic drop in installations next year.
From 2024, everyone will have to pay 100% of the prosumer tariff, but until now it was “subsidized”. Do you agree that current sign owners are doing pretty well?
Yes, but that’s because we negotiated. The region provided for total exemption during the 5 years of the legislature. A European regulation contradicted this and in the end we found a compromise. The rate was reimbursed in 2020-2021. For the moment it is subsidized up to 54.27%. Yeah, we’re doing pretty well.
It should make you happy. In 2024, ORES harmonizes its Prosumer tariffs. We will pay the same thing regardless of the municipality.
I never understood why some had to pay 25% more than others. But it’s a small victory since the Walloons are not equal. Resa may continue to apply its own rates.
The sulphurous file of the moment is the dropouts. The principle of compensation is recorded by the politician. We are in the process of defining the calculation method. Are you rejoicing?
They intend, that’s good. It must be said that at the political level, we were in denial. We said to ourselves that it was marginal. I can tell you that the number of dropouts will get worse by the end of the year.
The Cwape tells us that in the future a network manager will have the choice: to reinforce his network or to compensate the aggrieved Walloon. What do you say to this “either-or”?
It will be necessary to strengthen the network, not the choice. We must not only find how to compensate the prosumer rate paid for a service that we do not have and at the same time we must find how to compensate for the meter which no longer turns upside down. It’s complex. In fact, the shareholder municipalities of DSOs should stop playing Winnie the Pooh with their finger in the honey pot all the time. The money should not be used to plug the holes in their budget. Everything must be reinjected into the network. .
The old battle for green certificates is resurfacing. Wallonia had withdrawn 5 years of certificates and changed the rules along the way. At the end of December, you are again before the courts when the Council of State had accepted the principle that a government changes its mind along the way.
It is expected that the commitment of 15 years of certificates will be respected for the 19,000 complainants. Here, we ask that the fault be recognized and we expect compensation calculated on a case-by-case basis to recover 5 stolen years. Pleading at the end of 2023 and judgment in March, April.
