The proposed adjustment of Germany's renewable energy law: A critical assessment (original) (raw)

The paper critically assesses the proposed adjustments to Germany's renewable energy law, particularly focusing on the changes affecting solar power under the Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG). It highlights the rapid expansion of photovoltaic systems and the subsequent rise in consumer surcharges, calling into question the government's drastic reductions in feed-in tariffs and their potential impact on market dynamics. The paper advocates for a more thoughtful integration of renewable energy into the market and suggests an accompanying innovation strategy to ensure sustainable growth.
