The next German government must quickly develop a concept for funding wind and solar power plants. The current support in the form of a market premium, which is paid out of the federal budget in accordance with the EEG, has only been approved by the EU until the end of 2026. By then, at the latest, the funding must be changed to ensure that the state not only bears the risk by guaranteeing minimum prices for the electricity fed into the grid but also skims off profits if maximum prices are exceeded. Alternatively, as called for by the FDP and parts of the CDU/CSU, government support could be abolished entirely; renewables would then have to finance themselves on the market alone.
