“Support for small power stations”
Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung
State support for combined heat and power with a capacity of 1-50 megawatts that are used for self-consumption will be abolished, writes Andreas Mihm in Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. This would hit energy-intensive industries especially hard because companies that self-consumed their energy would be exempt from support in the future, argues Mihm. But smaller or larger facilities would continue to be eligible for state support. The federal cabinet wants to decide on the relevant reform in September, writes Mihm.
