“Expensive restart”

Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung

The populism by the Christian Social Union in Bavaria has delayed the grid expansion by years and increased costs by billions of euros, writes Andreas Mihm in an opinion piece for Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. He says that the Bavarian government had withdrawn its own grid expansion resolution because it feared the voters. “That’s why constructing the new lines will be three to four times as costly,” writes Mihm.
