Payment Scheme
The EEG also differentiates between technologies such that each renewable energy source (RES) receives a different payment guaranteed price according to its generation cost, ranging from 3.58 - 9.67 €-Cents per kilowatt-hour for hydropower to 35.49 – 51.7 €-Cents per kilowatt-hour for solar power (Rickerson, et al., 2007; Hirschl, 2008). Solar power recompense in the first half of 2011 ranges from 21.11 - 28,74 €ct/ kWh depending on installation size and form, with a further decrease of 9% to 15% foreseen in June, 2011.

Famous quotes containing the words payment and/or scheme:
“Latin America is very fond of the word “hope.” We like to be called the “continent of hope.” Candidates for deputy, senator, president, call themselves “candidates of hope.” This hope is really something like a promise of heaven, an IOU whose payment is always being put off. It is put off until the next legislative campaign, until next year, until the next century.”
—Pablo Neruda (1904–1973)
“I have no scheme about it,—no designs on men at all; and, if I had, my mode would be to tempt them with the fruit, and not with the manure. To what end do I lead a simple life at all, pray? That I may teach others to simplify their lives?—and so all our lives be simplified merely, like an algebraic formula? Or not, rather, that I may make use of the ground I have cleared, to live more worthily and profitably?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
