Under the EEG, operators of solar installations and wind turbines receive a fixed feed-in tariff for every kilowatt-hour (kWh) of electricity fed into the grid over a period of 20 years. This payment is made regardless of whether there is a surplus of electricity. To prevent the electricity grid from becoming overloaded, flexible electricity generators […]
For almost 25 years, the Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG) has been the most important tool for the energy transition towards increased use of renewable energy. By utilising renewable energy sources – solar, wind and biomass – dependence on fossil fuels can be reduced: this would allow many billions of euros to be channelled into […]
The counterproductive energy policy at federal and state level is having an impact. It is now – once again – putting jobs and businesses at risk. A survey of Saxony’s renewable energy companies shows that the economic situation in the sector is deteriorating significantly. According to the two industry associations, the reasons for this include […]
The government led by Friedrich Merz had already proclaimed the ‘Autumn of Reforms’ back in 2025. However, this did not materialise. Then the ‘Spring of Reforms’ was due to follow. Spring 2026 did arrive, but the reforms did not. Now it is summer’s turn to sort things out. That is why, shortly before the summer […]
Years of dithering over grid expansion are now having consequences in Saxony too: More and more applications for grid connections for renewable energy installations are being put on hold and piling up with the grid operators, as if Saxony were still in the year 2016 and could leisurely stroll into a climate-friendly future without fossil […]
Standard, traditional electricity tariffs consist of two components: a fixed basic charge (the cost of the meter) stated in euros per year, and a fixed unit price, calculated in cents per kWh.In contrast to standard electricity tariffs, the price per kilowatt-hour (kWh) for dynamic electricity tariffs is variable; they do not have a fixed unit […]
There are a number of hurdles to overcome when it comes to neighbourhood electricity distribution, as electricity cannot simply be distributed from a small-scale generator with a PV system to a small consumer next door via a simple cable running through the property. – Under the amended Energy Industry Act (EnWG), the energy generated must […]
In the context of the economic downturn in Germany, the argument that electricity prices in Germany are too high is frequently put forward. In April 2026, the SPD and CDU/CSU coalition introduced a subsidised industrial electricity tariff for industry and large-scale electricity consumers, limited to the three-year period up to 2028. However, there are over […]
