Business associations have long been complaining of high electricity prices in international comparison. This in hemme investments in Germany.
In their explorations, the CDU, CSU and SPD had already agreed to reduce the electricity tax on the minimum value permitted in the EU. Versions and network charges should also fall. This should lead to relief by at least five cents per kilowatt hour.
The Union and SPD also want to halve the transmission network charges, part of the electricity price.
The network charges are to be capped permanently. Data centers should also be included. “We introduce special relief (industrial flow price) for the companies that are not to be relieved otherwise.
According to calculations by the Verivox comparison portal, a reduction in electricity tax on the minimum value permitted in the EU would reduce electricity costs by almost 7 percent. A family with an annual consumption of 4,000 kWh would have to pay 93 euros less, a two-person budget with a consumption of 2,800 kWh could expect an annual relief of 65 euros.
