Stromversorgung: Die Koalition garantiert Betrieben Netzanschlüsse – doch was ist ihr Versprechen wert?
Die Regierung stellt allen Betrieben Netzanschlüsse in Aussicht. Doch gerade in der Industrie wächst der Frust. Ein Aktionsbündnis warnt und der Amprion-Chef wendet sich direkt an Ministerin Reiche.
The coalition government announced on July 2nd that it would guarantee electricity connections for industrial facilities, providing them with a clear deadline for when their operations would be connected to the power grid. This promise caught everyone off guard. However, in practice, it appears to be unenforceable. On the contrary, the frustration among businesses is growing due to the prolonged delays in establishing power connections.
In some cases, companies are forced to wait for a decade before receiving a power connection. Warnings from both the business community and politicians are becoming more frequent. A letter from a Lower Saxony action alliance addressed to Gitta Connemann, the federal government's deputy for medium-sized enterprises, states, "Where a timely power connection is not available, investments are postponed, reduced, or abandoned altogether."
This hinders Germany's economic location and slows down the industrial transformation. Among the signatories are energy and industrial companies, as well as local government bodies. The availability of a power connection has long become a crucial factor for attracting investment, securing jobs, and advancing the industrial transformation.
