CORRECTED - Germany to add record 5 GW solar power in 2010-govt
REUTERS - BERLIN, March 18 (Reuters) - Germany will add more than 5,000 megawatts of photovoltaic capacity this year -- or nearly double the previous record of 3,000 megawatts that was installed in 2009, a senior German government official said on Thursday.
Karin Freier, head of the Environment Ministry's solar energy department, said planned cuts of 16 percent in state subsidies that will take effect in July were fuelling the boom as investors rush to beat the deadline.
