Federal Government - Savings plans: Schwesig warns of rising energy costs
Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania's Minister President Manuela Schwesig (SPD) has warned of rising energy costs in light of the German government 's savings plans. "It is clear that savings must be made," she told the magazine "Spiegel". "But I am particularly critical of the burden of energy costs."
From Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania's point of view, it is particularly problematic that there is to be no further reduction in grid fees and therefore in electricity prices.
The leaders of the traffic light coalition want to cancel a planned billion-euro subsidy for grid fees due to a budget ruling by the Federal Constitutional Court. The fees are a component of the electricity price. The removal of the subsidy for grid fees is likely to lead to higher electricity prices.
Schwesig has repeatedly called for a revision of the grid fees in the past. These are comparatively high in the north because the expansion of wind power and corresponding grids causes higher costs here.
According to Schwesig, the planned increase in the CO2 tax will hit commuters in the federal states particularly hard. "We need an increase in the commuter allowance to compensate for this," she demanded.
In an interview with Stern magazine (Tuesday), Schwesig also criticized the federal government's plans to end tax breaks for farmers. "We need a strong agricultural sector, also so that prices remain stable. The cuts for agriculture go too far and come too suddenly." A sensible solution must be found.
