Energy minister Sigmar Gabriel in a draft for a reform of Germany’s Renewable Energies Act (EEG) wants to extend 70% of a renewables supplement (EEG Umlage) paid by power consumers on top of normal electricityprices to apply to power produced for self-consumption.
With the current level of the supplement, that would mean that producers have to pay €0.04 ($0.06) per kilowatt hour of electricity they produce for their own use.
