New Law Complicates Expansion of Wind and Solar Farms

A new law will significantly hinder the expansion of wind and solar farms in several regions. From the date the law takes effect, grid operators will have the ability to reject applications for new projects, potentially leading to a halt in development.

The regulation has potentially far-reaching consequences and could severely affect entire federal states, as capacities for renewable energy will be greatly restricted. This occurs in the context of ongoing efforts to increase the share of renewable energy in the energy supply.
