Germany failed to meet its targets against the division of the German electricity price zone last year. The voluntary commitments of an action plan had been missed in part to 75 percent in 2022, according to a report published on Friday by the European regulatory agency ACER. If the Federal Republic is unable to comply with corresponding EU requirements on European electricity trading by the beginning of 2026, the German electricity market could be split into up to five price zones. In southern Germany, in particular, the exchange price for electricity could be higher than in the wind-energy-rich north.
