European Commission green-lights German tenant electricity scheme
Federal Ministry for the Economy & Energy (BMWi)
The European Commission has approved the funding scheme for Germany’s plan to grant public support to landlords planning to install solar panels on the roof of apartment buildings, the Federal Ministry for the Economy & Energy (BMWi) says in a press release. The so-called tenant electricity law “will support the expansion of solar energy production on residential buildings”, Economy Minister Brigitte Zypries says. Electricity that is not used by the tenants of a building can be fed into the grid, allowing producers to receive remuneration for the power consumed by tenants and also for the share sold on the market, the BMWi says.
