Trouble about new gas power plants: Southern countries accuse Rich „misguided industrial policy“
By 2031 at the latest, Federal Minister of Economics Reiche expects energy from new gas power plants for Germany. Söder and Özdemir are criticizing her heavily for the time being.
Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria's leaders, Cem Özdemir and Markus Söder, have criticised German Federal Minister of Economic Affairs Katherina Reiche over the allocation of new power plant capacities. They argue that new gas power plants should be built in southern Germany, particularly in Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg, where they are most needed for supply security and grid stability.
The two leaders said that two-thirds of new power plant capacities should be built in the south, and that the current allocation, which favours the north, is unacceptable. They also called for an increase in the "Südbonus" and stricter efficiency requirements for modernisations.
