EEG Short story

“Anchoring the new climate targets is an important step. However, the federal government urgently needs to revise its assumptions about future electricity demand upwards. The further expansion of renewable energies is defined as a question of “public safety”, but at the same time the expansion targets are based on forecasts that are too low. Defining goals is a good place to start. But the way to get there is crucial. What the industry needs now are above all a reliable regulatory framework and stable financing conditions.
