Germany remains committed to energy transition, minister tells industry
Govt holding course on energy transition despite changes to grid access rules and support payments for renewables currently under consideration, says Reiche
Germany’s energy minister Katherina Reiche has sought to reassure the country’s energy industry that the government is holding course on the energy transition, despite the changes to grid access rules and support payments for renewable power installations currently under consideration in her ministry. Speaking at the annual conference of the Federation of Energy and Water Industries (BDEW), Reiche defended her first year in office, during which she faced criticism over the slow pace of urgent reforms and uncertainty about the future speed of renewable energy expansion.
