“Call for a reform of the renewable energy act”
Thüringische Landeszeitung
Most Germans say the costs for renewable energy expansion are not fairly distributed across the country, Thüringische Landeszeitung reports. A representative survey by pollster Kantar Emnid found 59 percent of respondents said the costs paid by power customers with their electricity bill could be allocated more fairly. And 77 percent called for a new reform of the renewable energy act (EEG), the newspaper says. Calls for a reform increased on average with the age of survey respondents, it adds.
