New billion-dollar gap for traffic lights – FDP rails against “permanent subsidies” for renewables. FDP parliamentary group shows around 17 billion euros are expected to be missing from the financing of green electricity generation for 2024.
If this is true, the financing gap would be significantly larger than previously assumed. At the heart of this financing problem is the way in which operators of solar and wind turbines receive their compensation. A further fall in electricity prices is imminent, which could put green electricity operators in an emergency situation.
