Frontrunners in greenhouse gardening who have switched to sustainable heat are being forced by high energy prices to switch back to burn born gas in CHPs . This is endangering sustainable projects and threatening to put the climate targets out of mess . This is because of the linking of subsidies to the price of natural gas and , as the hall group Glastuinbouw Nederland puts it , ' twists and turns in the subsidy methodological analysis ' . Even if a agriculturalist has switched to sustainable energy , natural gas still haunt them . The government must and can do something about this , according to Glastuinbouw Nederland , which is call for ' pressing action ' .
All the larger sustainable heat projects using geothermic heat , biomass , and solar high temperature are affect by the high gas price , according to the sovereign , specialist consultancy BlueTerra Energy Experts . The authority map out the position on behalf of Glastuinbouw Nederland . The conclusion is that labor in the greenhouse horticulture sphere will fall through and households will be confront with very unconscionable increases in heating duty for district heating networks . On 27 January , CDA Members of Parliament Bontenbal and Boswijk asked parliament questions about this .
Passing on price not possibleThe amount of sustainable estrus bring forth in nursery horticulture is equivalent to approximately 300 million m3 of natural gas per year . That is the one-year gaseous state consumption of 240,000 households . Heat internet with sustainable sources have been drive to raise prices substantially because of cut in subsidy and originate in operation costs . menage lose from this . But nursery horticulture companies can not pass on the higher prices , because the price price of competitors with a natural gas pedal CHP has not risen . Meanwhile , a fate of subsidy money , which has already been earmarked for making the Netherlands more sustainable , is disappearing into commonwealth caisson . If existing projects are already being ruined financially , the enthusiasm for unexampled projects will also chop-chop fade .
Nursery Wijnen Square Crops from Egchel says : " From the bottom of my heart I say that we have to keep running , the energy price will dismiss finally . But if you look at it from a stage business point of eyeshot , I have to shut down my flora , because the financial risk of remain is enormous . A similar remark comes from Middenmeer , from ECW Energy : " There are serious thoughts about temporarily shutting down one or more geothermal passion sources from April . "
What is die on?The conditions in the energy marketplace are thus a major threat to be renewable energy undertaking . The master ground is that all larger sustainable heat task depend on SDE subsidies . This subsidy is linked to the gasoline price to cover the so - name unprofitable top . Now that the gas toll is so high , the subsidy threatens to become zero . Companies that can travel by on the higher costs to the consumer will do so , company that can not do so may go bankrupt . It is important to remark that the current eminent energy prices are have a disastrous impact on the projects , due to a number of well - known errors in the subsidy scheme . The impact of these wrongdoing was still satisfactory in the retiring decade . Companies with a sustainable instalment hunt down a great risk than company that only combust rude gas and these sustainable entrepreneur can not continue that peril .
Idea behind SDE subsidyThe main idea behind the Stimuleringsregeling Duurzame Energieproductie ( SDE ) ( rush scheme for sustainable energy production ) is that the scheme continue the unprofitable balance between the monetary value of green and fossil fuels . In drill , this does n’t always work for several intellect , but the most important is the fact that in projects in greenhouse horticulture , industry , and heat connection , the reference cost price of fossil fuel should be based on CHP rather than on a flatulence boiler . Cogeneration suffers less from the highly high energy Price because , in summation to the expensive input signal of throttle , it also benefit from the sale of expensive electricity . This assure that the heating monetary value is always comparatively humble . However , the subsidy of sustainable projection is colligate to the warming Mary Leontyne Price of a gasolene boiler via the correction amount .
In short : in theory , the SDE subsidy covers the unprofitable equipoise , but in practice , this is not the causa . The SDE system worked decently with energy price in the past twenty years , but in the current energy crisis with unprecedented , extremely high-pitched energy prices , it no longer works .
High levels of uncertaintyAn additional difficulty applies to projects that produce electricity as well as passion , for example , wood - fired CHP and biogas plants . Whereas in the heat strategy the SDE is learn on 1 January for the come year on the base of the ' year ahead flatulency price ' , in the scheme where some electrical energy is also generated , the subsidy amount is determined after on the basis of the daily EPEX electricity price . Because the electrical energy prices are not known until subsequently , an enterpriser can not make timely adjustments . baby’s room WS Moerman from Maasbree say : " The subsidy amount that we will encounter in 2022 partly calculate on the daily electricity price during 2022 . I have to decide now whether we are going to melt down , on 31 December we will know whether this has been the good choice . "
The fellowship will be paid subsidy advance , but as it stands based on current energy prices , the advances for 2022 will be recuperate in early 2023 . Moreover , the first moment is that in 2023 little or no betterment payments will be made . This could lead to acute liquidity problems and even failure in 2023 .
Geothermal Heat Vierpolders , a horticultural collective of eight nursery gardening entrepreneurs , order : " The growth in the throttle cost will only have its effect in the post - reckoning of the current SDE twelvemonth . As a outcome , at the end of an already exceedingly expensive energy yr , the entrepreneurs are faced with a substantial quittance of SDE fund .
