6 FAQs about [Photovoltaic ESS cost vs benefit calculation in Ecuador]
Does remuneration affect the viability of PVSC systems in Ecuador?
Change in Net Present Value for Ecuador if the structure in consumption bands were replaced with a fixed rate of 0.0956 €/kWh. The analysis identified that the viability of the PVSC systems in each remuneration scheme is also significantly affected by the functioning of the electricity system in each country.
Is PV a good option for low electricity consumption in Spain?
The subsidies in place in Spain are very generous but the limitation of self-consumption >80% of the electricity produced by PV is difficult to achieve in case of low electricity consumption.
How is surplus electricity valuated in Spain?
In Spain, the current simplified compensation method under the current net-billing scheme states that the surplus electricity is valuated at a price slightly lower than the wholesale price. In Fig. 11 (b) it can be seen that the LCOE is within this range for PV powers higher than 3 kW.
Why are electricity prices higher in Spain than in Ecuador?
In Ecuador, this is the result of the progressive increase in electricity prices in line with the consumption, while in Spain this is due to the higher proportion of self-consumed electricity at a higher price at the expense of a lower proportion of compensated electricity at a lower price.
How is NPV calculated in Ecuador and Spain?
The NPV is calculated for both countries considering a lifetime of 25 years for Ecuador and Spain, and the discount rates of 7% for Ecuador and 3% for Spain. For the average user, the results show no profitability in Ecuador and fair profitability in Spain. For higher consumptions, the profitability is fair in Ecuador and good in Spain.
How much does electricity cost in Spain?
In addition, the sharp increase in electricity prices experienced in Spain will be also taken into account. The average retail price of electricity in year 2019 is 0.110 €/kWh and 0.050 €/kWh for the surplus electricity, and in year 2021 of 0.177 €/kWh for the retail price and 0.110 €/kWh for the surplus electricity fed into the grid.
