Habeck: Talk with Brussels about industrial electricity prices

German Economy Minister Robert Habeck has said that his ministry is already in talks with the EU Commission about a subsidized industrial electricity price. After the cabinet retreat, he said in response to a journalist’s question: „We have repeatedly talked with the Commission about the industrial electricity price.“ He said there was an „ongoing channel of discussion“ in which his proposal had been a repeated topic. The German government has not yet decided whether to pursue Habeck’s proposal for a reduced bridge electricity price for industry.
