German statesecretary Rainer Baake has called for “consistency on European climate and energy targets” and capacity markets not to undermine emission trading. Speaking during consultation between EU energy ministers' following the release of the union's energy package, Baake welcomed the package as a step towards a “stronger and more flexible internal power market” for Europe, the BMWi said in a press release. He added that it was “right that capacity markets will only be allowed as a temporary solution and subsidies for new coal plants avoided.”
