Electricity price zone: Stuttgart wants alternatives to division

In the dispute over the possible division of the German electricity bidding zone, a report commissioned by the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of the Environment argues for alternative solutions. For example, different regional remuneration for renewable energies, electrolyzers for hydrogen production and controllable power plants as part of capacity mechanisms are possible. „Before a bidding zone separation in Germany, these alternative instruments should first be examined and weighed up against the option of a bidding zone split“, the report presented in Berlin on Monday states.
