Germany will be able to support energy-intensive industry by combining two subsidy schemes throughout 2026 after receiving a green light from the European Commission, economy minister Katharina Reiche told business daily Handelsblatt. The agreement allows companies to benefit both from a temporary lower industrial electricity price and a power price compensation scheme that reduces their exposure to carbon pricing, which was previously not possible.
