The current price is made up of etc. It is not something Coen brothers would like to discuss. Network charges, stock market trading prices and the EEG assessment together. So the renewable energy levy wore to the recent electricity price rises just 0.062 cents per kilowatt-hour for the majority made network charges and trading prices. According to Prognos AG, the share of solar power will rise to 2016 likely to 70 percent. As a result, the energy price to only 1.9 percent verteure however. But the expansion of renewable energies involved are not all alike: almost 570 companies from the energy-intensive industry are largely exempt from the renewable energy levy.

Therefore, additional costs of approximately EUR two billion were for consumers, so the Federal Environment Ministry. These official numbers rarely read consumer reporting, so that only a very one-sided picture of promoting solar in the media is played back. Photovoltaics as an obstacle to a reliable energy supply? Solar power is a fixed size in the renewable energy mix. The share of solar power is currently 3.5 percent, which ousted 18 billion kilowatt hours last year nuclear power from the network. Short term thinking, extrapolating just the subsidy in the amount of eight billion euros. But already this year the remuneration below the level of household electricity is decreasing, so 2016 photovoltaic contributes only 1.9 per cent to the price increase, so the Prognos AG.

According to Volker Quasching, Professor of regenerative energy systems at the Hochschule fur Technik und Wirtschaft Berlin, biomass, hydropower and geothermal energy can cover no more than 30 percent of energy needs from 2050. In particular geothermal energy is associated with high costs. Want to restrict imports on no more than 15 percent, then wind and Sun power bear the brunt in the future. Although offshore wind farms could provide up to two-thirds, however, then the efficiency and security of supply would be in question.
