The Valencian Association of Companies in the Energy Sector (Avaesen) has filed a contentious-administrative appeal before the Supreme Court (TS) against Royal Decree 1565/2010 of the Government for considering that it "violates" rights of previous regulations to be applied with retroactive effect and "puts obstacles to the development of renewable energies", the group has informed in a statement.
With this action, Avaesen wants to demonstrate to the Executive that the renewable energy sector "will defend its rights with all the arguments and elements at its disposal," says the entity.
Among the legal bases on which Avaesen has supported the preparation of this appeal is "the violation of rights that this Royal Decree introduces with respect to previous norms, being applied with retroactive effect".
In addition, the legal advisors of the association have pointed out that this legislation "also supposes a violation of the principle of legal certainty, since the reasonable profitability of photovoltaic installations is not guaranteed".
From Avaesen they also point out that this Royal Decree "goes against the transposition of the European Directive 2009/28/EC of the European Parliament by putting obstacles to the development of renewable energies".
The objective of this appeal is for the Supreme Court to decree the nullity of all those precepts that violate these norms and precepts. If this litigation succeeds "it will benefit all the owners of photovoltaic installations, regardless of whether they have appealed individually," they have asserted from the association.
The Valencian Association of Energy Companies was established in 2006 and currently has about 170 associates from the entire energy value chain. Currently, these 170 companies employ 6,000 workers and have a combined turnover of 4,500 million euros. (EUROPA PRESS)
