In this article, Robert Busch, head of the Association of Energy Market Innovators (bne), says a new government will have to deal with
the surcharges on electricity prices and grid fees to pave the way to a decentralised and flexible energy system.
Germany has already started a subsidy for fossil - fueled plants bankrupted by the plunge in
electricity prices — a subsidy that will just add to the very high
surcharges levied
on captive German rate - payers to reimburse renewable sources for costs they can't recover from market.
