The whole of Germany is paying for Bavaria's failures in the energy transition. There are no wind turbines in southern Germany, but in the north they increasingly have to be shut down because the networks are overloaded.

That costs billions. In the north, more green electricity is produced than is needed. Consumers nationwide are paying the costs for the failed energy transition in the south. The energy industry is expecting additional billions in costs to stabilize the power grid in the next few years. The costs include the compensation for unused green electricity, which is essentially generated for the garbage can.
