That's not a government subsidy. It's a feed-in tariff depending on the year, capacity, type of producer etc..

It is not paid by the government. The money is paid by the electricity consumers.

The energy intensive industry does not pay this, btw. Their electricity is 35% cheaper than in France, according to 'Uniden'.
