The National Federation of Employers of Electrical installations and telecommunications of Spain (Fenie) ensures that the cuts applied in the photovoltaic sector "will seriously harm thousands of installation companies and their workers", and will end up with about 4,000 direct jobs of high specialization.
In addition to these direct jobs, the government's decision to cut premiums for photovoltaic installations could cause, according to the calculations of the same association, the loss of another 20,000 indirect jobs.
This effect on employment in the sector of electrical installers is due to the fact that, under the legislation that stimulated the development of renewables, many companies have reconverted their lines of business and have invested capital in training a large number of workers to meet this new demand.
Once the cut has been applied, there has been "instability in investors", who "do not flee from the shorter repayment terms of investments, but from legal uncertainty", says the association.
The change in the number of hours entitled to a premium, he says, places "on the verge of bankruptcy" many companies, which have received numerous cancellations of orders by customers and that "are doomed to a gradual closure".
This "dislate", he adds, has been carried out without taking into account the difference between irradiation by regions and "will place many plants in a situation of technical bankruptcy, which will force their sale or paralysis, with the consequent loss of maintenance jobs of photovoltaic plants".
