The first factory in Gran Canaria producing photovoltaic modules (TSKAN) was opened in Agüimes, last February. The factory has a production capacity of 25 megawatts per year in monocrystalline and polycrystalline PV modules. This leads to a reduction of 35,000 tons in the release of Carbon dioxide into the atmosphere which will benefit the environment and at the same time will generate new energy and bring wealth to the island.
TSKAN sells their products to Italy, Portugal and Africa and they hope to double its production as well as the number of workers in a year. The mayor of Agüimes pledges his firm commitment to renewable energies and is very pleased with the creation of this kind of industry in the south east of the island.
However, the new Decree of Renewable Energies (September, 2008) limits and hampers the setting up and use of this kind of energy on the island. In order to eliminate the negative repercussions of the Decree and promote solar energy among the investors, it would be necessary to get rid of the bureaucracy, build stations to transport the obtained energy and subsidise those who want to install a photovoltaic system.
