EU electricity market: FDP against Council position

The FDP parliamentary group in the Bundestag opposes the position of the EU states on the European electricity market reform. FDP parliamentary group Vice President Lukas Köhler told Table.Media the coalition rejected bilateral contracts for differences during the coalition talks and the latest amendments to the Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG). „We as liberals see no chance for further renewable energy promotion in Germany if, at the end of the trilogue, renewable energies can only be promoted via two-sided CfDs.“
