The green certificate system has been revised to ensure a return on investment in 7 years. This should be of interest to large electricity consumers such as companies.

As a reminder, a green certificate is an aid to the production of "green" energy. Under the old system, a green certificate was issued for each 217 kg of CO2 avoided by a photovoltaic system. These certificates were sold to electricity suppliers at a price that resulted from various factors (electricity prices, minimum proportion of green electricity supply, etc.).. This system of pricing based on supply and demand resulted in uncertainty about the duration of the return on investment because the price of the green certificate could not be known in advance.

The system of green certificates has never attracted large consumers of electricity companies. Even coupled with old environmental awards, they did not allow them to get a return on investment in a short time to be profitable.

Now, the green certificate market will be controlled via the number of green certificates issued annually to ensure the owner of a photovoltaic return on investment over a period of seven years.

This should interest not only large electricity consumers, but also the owners of buildings with large flat roofs. Indeed, power producers may be interested to rent roof surfaces to develop their own project!
