Business lobby criticises increase of maximum wind power remuneration
The Association of German Family Businesses has criticised the Federal Network Agency鈥檚 (BNetzA) decision to increase the maximum remuneration rate for onshore wind power auctions, Klaus Stratmann writes in Handelsblatt. The business lobby says the BNetzA鈥檚 move was an 鈥渦nacceptable step backwards鈥�, as guaranteed remuneration for wind power had to fall and eventually disappear rather than increase, Stratmann writes. The BNetzA has recently raised the maximum remuneration to 6.3 eurocents per kilowatt hour in order to guarantee that bidders can operate their installations at a profit and to prevent a slowdown in expansion.
