Climate_Inform referred to an NDR article and wrote that the CDU/CSU had already significantly delayed the expansion of the grid under Angela Merkel. The decision from 2015, made at the request of the Union to use more expensive underground cables, had further increased the delays. Robert Habeck later approved numerous routes and initiated the construction; nonetheless, according to Climate_Inform, the expansion of the grid is about ten years behind. Due to the delayed expansion, cheaper electricity from renewable energies must be curtailed more often, resulting in billions of losses for electricity customers, the author wrote. He blamed the CDU/CSU for high electricity prices and accused the Minister of Economics, Reiche, of slowing down the expansion of wind and solar energy instead of accelerating the grid expansion and allowing more construction activities to take place in parallel. Climate_Inform also wrote that the CDU/CSU were working against Germans and German companies and that the AfD wanted to further restrict the expansion of renewable energies. In conclusion, the author asked why people chose such parties and what their voters wanted to achieve. #Netzausbau #ErneuerbareEnergien #CDUCSU (translated)
