The energy ministry as part of the EEG reform by year-end wants to present an executive order detailing how the first tenders will be set up.
If everything works according to plan, a first tender would be organised in 2015, but ministry officials off the record admit that the schedule is very ambitious.
Now the entire process has been complicated further as the parliamentary group of Chancellor Angela Merkel's Christian Democrats (CDU) and of its Bavarian sister party, the Christian Social Union (CSU), have rejected the plan categorically.
