Energie: Entgelte für Stromautobahnen steigen um 20 bis zu 30 Prozent
Die Entgelte für die Nutzung der Stromübertragungsnetze steigen deutlich. Das schlägt auf die Stromrechnung von Privathaushalten und Unternehmen durch. Zwei Gründe sind ausschlaggebend.
As of January 1st, electricity rates for utilizing the power transmission network are set to increase by 20 to 30 percent, according to industry sources cited by the Handelsblatt. The exact figure for 2027 will be officially announced on Thursday. The transmission system operators have declined to comment on the numbers. The main reason for the rise is the planned cut in the federal subsidy for power transmission network fees by the German government.
Added to this is the high investment requirement for companies, as they need to continuously expand their networks every year. These costs will be passed on to all electricity consumers. "We also report: The expectation of falling electricity prices is deceptive. The federal cabinet approved a change to the Energy Industry Law (EnWG) on September 2nd.
Consequently, the federal subsidy for power transmission network costs, currently amounting to 6.5 billion euros, will be reduced to 5.525 billion euros, a 15 percent cut. This reduced value will apply for the years 2027, 2028, and 2029. The reduction is a result of the budget negotiations that have led to cuts in various sectors."
