Union and SPD Move Closer to Preserving Support for Small Solar Power Plants

The CDU/CSU and SPD coalition in Germany is moving closer to an agreement on future support for renewable energy production. According to talks held so far, the feed-in tariff for small solar power plants with a capacity of up to 25 kilowatts should be preserved. Spiegel.de ↗

According to information from the negotiations, expert politicians from both coalition parties have agreed on preserving the support. The Social Democrats have already announced that the feed-in tariff for solar electricity will remain in place. The CDU/CSU Union, however, pointed out that a final decision has not yet been made.

The dispute is linked to the overall package of changes in energy policy and the reform of the renewable energy support system. While the SPD considers the preservation of support for small installations to be agreed, representatives of the Union claim that without an agreement on the entire package, the question of feed-in tariffs also remains open.

According to the proposed solution, small solar installations on single-family homes would continue to receive payments for electricity supplied to the grid. The coalition has not yet finalized the details of the final shape of the reform or the other measures in the energy package.

Negotiations between the CDU/CSU and SPD are therefore continuing. The final preservation of support will be decided by an agreement on the entire energy package, which is to include a reform of the rules for electricity production from renewable sources.
