Renewable support levy to fall slightly to 6.8 ct/kwh – industry source
Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung
Germany’s renewable support levy paid by consumers as part of their power bills will fall slightly below 6.8 cents from the current 6.88 cents per kilowatt-hour in 2018, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung has learned from an industry source. Nevertheless, consumers’ power bills are unlikely to shrink because of rising grid fees, writes Andreas Mihm. The levy will be officially announced on Monday.
