New variables arise when Intel and TSMC set up factories in Germany: billions of dollars in subsidies are shelved

 


【Lansheng Technology News】On November 23, the European Union is actively promoting the development of the semiconductor industry and attracting multinational chip manufacturers to open factories and research institutions in Europe.


The European Union approved the European Chip Act in July this year, and various member states have also allocated budgets to attract factories through subsidies.


Germany has previously promised to provide $22 billion in incentives to chip manufacturers such as Intel and TSMC. However, German media ComputerBase.de reported that Germany has shelved the payment of billions of dollars in subsidies due to problems with the use of funds.


Intel and TSMC have previously promised to invest billions of dollars in German factory projects, but without government subsidies, these costs will need to be borne by Intel and TSMC themselves, which will undoubtedly lead to reducing the size of the project, slowing down the construction speed, or finding additional investor.


According to reports, the German Federal Constitutional Court issued a ruling to postpone the 2024 federal budget and believed that the misappropriation of anti-epidemic budget funds in 2022 was unconstitutional.


The ruling coalition (made up of the Social Democrats, Greens and FDP) has delayed final discussion and approval of the budget, causing delays in the chip subsidy project.


This means that the budget will not be put to a vote in the Bundestag next week (as planned) and will probably not be signed in time for the Federal President before the end of the year. While the coalition aims to finalize a budget within the year, it is unclear when it will move forward with approving the 2024 budget due to these complexities.

What are the Benefits of Power Optimizers?

Image
  Power optimizer for solar panels is a DC/DC converter that is connected to each solar panel in the PV system, turning them into smart modules. By constantly monitoring the maximum production capacity of each individual solar module, optimizers can increase your PV plant energy production – potentially increasing revenue and shortening system payback time. Simply put, the main benefit of power optimizer is that it maximizes the performance of each panel individually. What are the benefits of power optimizers and why are they needed? When installing solar panels, the panels are connected into groups or arrays. In the case of roof-mounted and in-roof panels, there are usually 12-20 solar panels in one group. If the productivity of one of these panels decreases (shadows from trees and clouds, dust, bird droppings, failures of PV components and other factors), then the productivity of the whole group decreases. Defective or shaded panels may produce 15 to 25 percent less solar energy ...

What is a Power Conditioner?

Image
  Looking to protect your sensitive and expensive electronics? Surge protection is a great start, but power conditioners also offer valuable protection for components in entertainment and sound systems, as well as home office devices. What does a power conditioner do that a surge protector can’t? Surge protectors are a great defense against damaging voltage spikes. However more than surges and spikes can effect certain sensitive electronic devices. Radio frequency interference (RFI), electro-magnetic interference (EMI) and voltage fluctuations can also effect sound, entertainment, and office devices, causing a reduction in sound and picture quality. How does it work? Power conditioners act as a buffer between the outlet and your system, smoothing out voltage fluctuations as well as radio and electromagnetic interference that can effect system performance. Initially used in industrial, research and laboratory applications, not long after the introduction of home computer systems, th...
