In our second part of our focus on the proposed FIT cuts in Germany we spoke with David Wedepohl spokesman for BSW (The German Solar Industry Association). We met Mr Wedepohl where he works at the Energy Forum offices in Berlin.
As we spoke with Mr Wedepohl we got the chance to guage his organisations view of the impending FIT cuts and ask how his association will respond to these measures and how the German Solar PV industry will develop.
Here are some of the topics we discussed with him...
-
We heard about the massive protests of the German companies against the 15% cut proposed by the government, does he think that it influenced the more constructive position of Angela Merkel?s Cabinet?
-
What is the position of BSW, which level of additional cuts would be reasonable in your opinion and why?
-
What actions BSW is going to still undertake in order to defend its position in the Bundestag?
-
How does he see a competitiveness of the German industry in the future?
