Temporary Crisis Framework: Commission allows higher subsidies

Against the backdrop of the energy crisis, the Commission has extended the Temporary Crisis Framework until the end of 2023. On Oct. 28, the Directorate General for Competition published the second amendment to the Temporary Crisis Framework (TCF). In it, the maximum allowable contributions for state aid are greatly increased compared to the previous version (Table.Media reported). However, the crisis framework for large industrial companies continues to follow a different funding logic than the German government’s Expert Commission for Heating and Gas, which presented its final report today.
