Great summary by @KeAppunn on the why, how, when, ... of Germany bringing back retired #coal power plants as a way to tackle the current #EnergyCrisis Which plants can be used, under which circumstances? What does it mean for coal exit plans? For #climate targets?

The idea behind scrapping the renewables levy was that cheaper power meant higher uptake of electric transport & heating – now the price reduction will be a small relief amid rising energy prices due to the Russian war against Ukraine & gas-supply crunch

An average German family will save around €200-300 per year after the renewables levy of currently 3.7 cents/kWh is abolished; Electricity suppliers are obliged to transparently show how prices are lowered

Again, this is rather different from the compromise Germany just read out in Council, which limits e-fuels to specific vehicle types twitter.com/KeAppunn/statu…

German @Bundeskanzler says the govt position is: "We want to make it possible for passenger cars with CO2-neutral drives, including e-fuels, to be registered after 2035" (speaking at #G7 press conference)
