“Tenants to receive money for solar plants”
Spiegel Online
The German economy ministry plans to reimburse tenants for using power generated by photovoltaic arrays and district heating plants installed in the buildings they live in, Gerald Traufetter writes on Spiegel Online. According to a draft by the ministry, tenants will be eligible to receive grants of up to 3.81 cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh), Traufetter writes. “Tenant power support can give the impetus for a further expansion of pv plants,” Spiegel Online quotes the ministry as saying.
