鈥淓lectricity tariff: State-approved false labelling鈥�
LichtBlick
German customers are being misled by inaccurate labelling of the origin of their electricity, the energy provider LichtBlick writes in a press release. Suppliers are obliged by law to indicate an averaged share of green electricity in their tariffs, even if the particular electricity they receive comes from a coal or nuclear plant, according to LichtBlick. According to Gero L眉cking from LichtBlick, the current legal requirement is 鈥渟tate-approved false labelling鈥� that urgently needs reform in order to prevent 鈥済reenwashing鈥� of non-renewable energy sources.
