Andreas Mehltretter is now deputy spokesman for his parliamentary group's "Climate Protection and Energy" working group. He is also rapporteur on the Renewable Energy Sources Act and photovoltaics.
The aim is to promote a reliable, affordable and climate-friendly energy supply, he says. He says: "We are on a good course with the energy transition; PV expansion, for example, has almost doubled in the last year. We want to implement the reform of the electricity market and the strategy for hydrogen power plants" He adds: "Energy must remain affordable, and our decisions here in Berlin should give people planning security""It is important to me that our economic prosperity benefits people and the climate," he says, adding that he feels at home in the economic issues surrounding energy transition and climate protection. "It's good that with the new function these points are given more weight in the discussions and negotiations," he adds. "I work on projects to support municipalities with their projects and to protect against the financial risk"
