Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DIHK) calls for reform of Renewable Energy Surcharge

Handelsblatt

The Chambers of Commerce and Industry (DIHK) say the Renewable Energy Surcharge consumers pay with their power bills could rise to 10 cents by 2025 and should be reformed. “We need a discussion about alternative models, such as financing it with taxes or a fund,” DIHK president Eric Schweitzer told Handelsblatt. “We have to look for solutions so the costs do not get out of hand again.”
