Germany鈥檚 levy to support renewables expansion, the EEG surcharge, will decrease to around 6.74 euro cents per kilowatt hour (ct/kWh) in 2018, from this year鈥檚 6.88 ct/kWh, according to by think tank Agora Energiewende.* A predicted rise in wholesale power prices would lower the support payments to renewable power producers. In addition, Germany鈥檚 鈥済reen energy account鈥� has a surplus of more than 3 billion euros, which could be used to lower the levy for consumers, writes Agora Energiewende in a press release. In 2019, support payments for newly built offshore wind parks would then significantly increase the EEG surcharge to more than 7.5 ct/kWh in 2019, approaching the levy鈥檚 peak expected in the following years, writes the think tank.
