The Spanish government were apparently surprised when scammers were producing solar energy even at night and reaping the government subsidies (FIT rates).

I'm thinking of setting up an operation like this in Ontario. Who's with me?

Count me in. I’ve invented a solar panel that produces electricity from dark. We’re gonna be rich!

"Vestas, the Danish wind turbine manufacturer, said today it would close five production plants across Scandinavia and cut 3,000 jobs.

The group said the surge in demand for wind power it had hoped for in Europe had not materialised and it would have to shift production away from Denmark and Sweden towards Spain to protect profits.

It is closing four plants in Denmark and one in Sweden, including one in Viborg where it has been manufacturing since 1989. The factory moves follow Vestas' decision to move production of turbines away from the UK last year, when it closed its Isle of Wight facility."
