Green Party chairman Habeck says tax and levy reform needed to make renewables cheaper
L眉becker Nachrichten
The co-chairman of Germany鈥檚 Green Party, Robert Habeck, says a sweeping reform of taxes and levies for renewables and other energy sources is needed to make clean energy production cheaper vis-脿-vis carbon-intensive sources, the L眉becker Nachrichten reports. In the Energiewende鈥檚 next phase, 鈥渢he future needs to become cheaper and the past more expensive,鈥� Habeck said at the New Energy fair in Husum. Electricity, heating, gas and oil currently have completely different tax and levy structures, Habeck said, which stands in the way of a sensible cost comparison.
