Kommentar: Die Energiepolitik der Bundesregierung kostet Verbraucher Milliarden
Mit einem neuen Vorschlag zur pauschalen Abregelung von Solaranlagen verärgert die Wirtschaftsministerin nun auch die Autoindustrie. Und ignoriert ein Milliardenpotenzial.
The critique of the German government's energy policy highlights the costly impact on consumers, totaling billions. Federal Economics Minister Katherina Reiche (CDU) aims to achieve her goals with the new Renewable Energy Act (EEG) by implementing less state support, more market-driven strategies. This includes scrapping subsidies for solar panels under the EEG and reducing the mandatory share of solar and battery storage power in the grid by half.
The situation likely sparked many questions. Not just you. The energy and automobile industries are visibly frustrated. Why should consumers selling green power to the free market be restricted to half of their generated energy? That was precisely the policy's intent. The wattage limitation would not only cost consumers and businesses significant sums but also drastically cut the billion-dollar potential of flexibility. This is not only unwise and innovation-resistant but also unnecessarily expensive.
