Federal and state governments can not find agreement for green electricity reform – tagesschau.de

Just three hours were the Prime Minister, together with the Chancellor, to negotiate on the green electricity reform. Not much has come out. End of May wants to meet again.

The federal government has with the countries found no agreement on the future pace of expansion of renewable energies. The decision meeting there should now be on May 31, said Chancellor Angela Merkel after a federal-state meeting in Berlin.

There are things contained and explored compromises but made no decisions been. It is a difficult task to bring together more competition, lower costs and the expansion of power grids in renewables. “We feel the need that we have to do it,” said Merkel, because the reform still needs to be approved by the EU

.

In addition to the countries would also have the parliamentary parties are involved. to enter into force early next year, the EEG. Other issues such as financial equalization and foreigner integration, which should also be discussed, need to be moved to the middle of June, Merkel said.



disagreement about Tempo

in the core federal and state governments argue about how quickly renewable energies will be expanded in the next decade. Until 2025, 40 to 45 percent of electricity consumption coming from these sources. Currently, there are about 33 percent. The original plan was to reinstall each 2.5 gigawatts per year wind and solar energy. However, this would probably lead to a significant exceeded the target range in 2025.

Particularly in the Union this will be criticized as too expensive and also too onerous for the electricity networks. The Group is pushing particularly to cuts in the wind. On the other hand, the countries have very different interests: Bayern is solar energy and biomass important to northerners and landlocked countries such as Baden-Württemberg, Hesse and Rhineland-Palatinate, concentrate more on wind energy

Green complain” outbraking “renewable

Saxony-Anhalt’s Minister Reiner Haseloff (CDU) stated that it would too much and too fast generates green electricity. The majority of them may be cut off due to lack of lines, citizens would still pay for it: “We can not accept.” It is now urgent task of federal and state governments to take corrective action when “state interventionism” by the Renewable Energies Act (EEG). The ten green energy minister threw black and red contrast of sabotaging a outbraking of renewable energies, the agreements of the World Climate Summit in Paris.

it is already clear that 2017 train to train the promotion of green electricity will be converted: Then the currently set at 20 years guaranteed prices for the current collection for new plants fall away. Instead, projects are advertised: Who calls the lowest subsidies, awarded the contract. In order for the expansion to be better controlled.
