The
law,
which
would
shift
much
of
the
liability
for
delayed
offshore
grid
connections
onto
consumers,
has

government
of

Angela

fears
about
political
support
for
the
sector.
Amid
signs
that
investors
were
losing

cabinet
rapidly
approved
the
law
in
August,

mid-September
Altmaier
claimed
the
law
would
be
passed
in
a
matter
of
weeks.
But
the
law
has
proven
more
controversial…
