By the end of August, the Federal Ministry of Economics wants to gain an overview of how the energy transition could be more reliable and more cost -effective for private and commercial consumers. At the end of June, the house of Katherina Reiche (CDU) commissioned an inventory and recommendations for action at specialist institutions, as a ministry spokesman confirmed on Friday. According to the service description of the so -called monitoring, a draft of the final report at the end of July, the final version will then be available on August 31. The energy transition is understood to be the conversion in the sense of climate protection. “Based on the inventory, it should be asked whether it is necessary to realign energy policy to minimize costs when implementing national and European climate goals and to ensure security of care,” says the service description. The topic achieves the new BrisanzThe “not bound to the previous target scenarios of the Federal Government”. It is “explicitly a critical examination of these scenarios and their assumptions, especially if they should not have taken a look at all of the existing restrictions and costs as well as technological options”. The topic has achieved new explosiveness, since the black-red government has not been able to observe a different promise to reduce the energy costs for the time being: the reduction in electricity tax announced as an “immediate measure” for the time being All “to the European minimum measure, including for private households, will not come for the time being, since the money is supposed to be missing. The goal is a“ overall -related image ”to the test report now commissioned by a spokesman for the Ministry of Economic Affairs:“ Taking into account the climate protection goals, a consistent orientation of all areas for cost efficiency and care security is the guiding principle of Monitoring and the options for action based on it. ” The goal is a “overall systemic picture”. In the coalition agreement, a monitoring is promised, “with the electricity requirement to be expected until the summer break in 2025 and the state of security, the network expansion, the expansion of renewable energies, digitization and hydrogen highcase as a basis for further work”. The ministry on Friday: “The clear focus here is on the energy policy target shot Climate protection, security of supply and affordability. ” With regard to the “previous” goals of the federal government, it is about an analysis of “accessibility, consistency and the associated costs”. Back for the review, there are indications from the industry, such as network operators, suppliers and scientists that the current plans for financing and expanding the green electricity and the cables could be exaggerated and therefore too expensive. according to not as quickly as it was assumed. In addition, oversized or misplaced memory, wind and solar parks and roof systems would be created. The feed -in tariff is carried out regardless of the need and the current electricity price, producers have not yet been involved in the high system costs for network stability, the (digital) distribution is inadequate, it would be laid expensive earth cables instead of overhead lines, and for times inadequate ecostrom generation (dark -flaut), the regular conventional capacities for secure management were shared in the future. On June 26, the Energy Economic Institute at the University of Cologne (EWI) and the consulting company Bet Consulting in Aachen to have commissioned the monitoring in Aachen. There was criticism of the procedure without further tender. The ministry replied that due to the time pressure, a framework contract with Bet was awarded as a consortial leader. In the service description, there is talk of an “extremely ambitious schedule”. Apparently there are guidelines for the contractors to “downgrade” the electricity requirement. Rich search for justifications to slow down the expansion of the renewables and the networks.
