The network fees for electricity and gas will rise slightly nationwide in 2027, with consumers, particularly in Hamburg, having to expect higher costs, while there are significant regional differences. #Energiekosten #Netzentgelte #Strompreise (translated)
From 2027, consumers in Germany should expect significantly higher costs for electricity and gas, as grid fees will increase on average, and particularly for gas, price surcharges of up to 20 percent are looming. #Energiekosten #Strompreise #Gaspreise (translated)
A new regulation by E-Control in Austria is being criticized for restricting the potential of battery storage to reduce electricity costs and is considered "unconstitutional," prompting the industry to call for adjustments. #Energiepolitik #Strompreise #Batteriespeicher (translated)
Ben Jamin wrote that there is no country with a high proportion of wind and solar power that also has low electricity prices. https://t.co/R1NHtK0hGH #Energiepolitik #ErneuerbareEnergien #Strompreise (translated)
The savings account enemies wrote that German households paid double the electricity prices of US households and 30 percent more than French households. At the same time, the author referred to a Green value of 14.5 percent and cited a KfW study stating that 83 percent of German households considered the energy transition to be important. With ironic references to demands for a more consistent continuation of the course taken and the possibility of having Habeck, he asked how this contradiction could be explained to rationally thinking people. #Energiepreisentwicklung #Energiewende #GrünePolitik (translated)
"This is exactly that one percent growth that gives us this leeway," said Merz. #Strompreise #FriedrichMerz #BärbelBas (translated)
CDU leader Friedrich Merz announced in Berlin that he would reduce electricity prices for all households by lowering the electricity tax to the European minimum level, and he also responded to the resignation of Labor Minister Bärbel Bas as well as the discussions about a possible coalition with the Left in Berlin. #Strompreise #FriedrichMerz #BärbelBas (translated)
Nuclearia e. V. wrote that Daniel Stelter demanded from Markus Lanz to immediately stop the demolition of nuclear power plants and to save what can still be saved. He receives a lot of support online for this, it was said. The association criticized that power plants providing cheap electricity are being destroyed while industry and small and medium-sized businesses are going under due to high electricity prices. As a photo credit, the contribution cited ZDF / Markus Lanz and October 8, 2026. #Energiepolitik #Kernkraft #Strompreise (translated)
Kolja Barghoorn ironically referred to the energy transition as a "masterpiece" and stated that instead of the promised cheap electricity, electricity prices are 16.4 percent higher than in 2021. He also pointed to billions in costs for grid bottlenecks and reserve power plants, battery storage that only lasts two hours at full capacity, and hydrogen, which has been considered a future technology for years. Barghoorn also criticized a new market created by the state, in which power plant operators would be paid for 15 years to provide electricity in case of outages from wind and solar power. He cited Blackout News as the source for the mentioned data. #Energiewende #Strompreise #Energiepolitik (translated)
Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that the eco-friendly energy provider Grüüün will cease supply to around 200,000 private customers nationwide by October 31, 2026. The company only started in 2024 and had advertised price guarantees of up to ten years. Affected customers will need to find a new provider. Grüüün cited planned changes to the Renewable Energy Sources Act and new regulations for power grid expansion as reasons. The company fears that this will lead to fewer wind power and solar installations in the future, making it impossible to maintain long-term price guarantees. Negotiations with the federal government have been unsuccessful, Boeminghaus wrote, referring to a BILD report from October 10, 2026. He explained that this case illustrates how political and regulatory uncertainty can jeopardize long-term business models in the energy sector. https://t.co/NINMEcNkUS #Energiewende #Strompreise #Deutschland (translated)
Doctor Eder wrote that he negotiated with Vuechtlaender that Saxony would receive its own electricity price zone and would be allowed to build and finance its own nuclear power plants. Subsequently, the state would need to explain the electricity prices to the angry people; the events would be filmed as a reality soap. https://t.co/Fvc9zTLwua #Sachsen #Strompreise #Energiesicherheit (translated)
Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that Norway's government does not plan to develop new international power cables until at least 2029. Energy Minister Terje Aasland called the concept of Norway as "Europe's green battery" outdated; however, existing connections such as NordLink to Germany will continue to operate. Citing a study in *Energy Policy*, Boeminghaus reported that NordLink has reduced peak prices in Germany, but has simultaneously increased expensive hours and price volatility in Southern Norway. The state price program Norgespris saved its participants more than 3.9 billion kroner compared to the spot market in the second quarter of 2026. Norway remains part of the European power trade, Boeminghaus wrote, but for now prefers a limit on a stronger interconnection. He cited Blackout News as the source. https://t.co/lMx3btPAXW #Energiewende #Norwegen #Strompreise (translated)
The hope for falling electricity prices in Austria is strengthened in the long term by the expansion of renewable energy, although a rise in electricity prices due to increasing gas prices is to be expected in the short term. #ErneuerbareEnergien #Strompreis #Energieeffizienz (translated)
The author criticized that the heavily subsidized solar industry is happy while consumers are increasingly angry. He wrote that more and more money is being spent on electricity production while the costs for its purchase are also at the expense of consumers. He called the energy transition completely absurd and warned that the situation will continue to worsen. #Energiewende #Solarenergie #Strompreise #DE (translated)
The author wrote that electricity prices are rising and gas prices are following. The hope for free electricity or that sun and wind would incur no costs proves to be, according to his depiction, deceptive once again. Electric car drivers and households would feel this bitterly. https://t.co/zkZsAgxvfx #Strompreise #Gaspreise #Energiepolitik #DE (translated)
Die Energiekrise in Rumänien verschärft sich aufgrund der Stilllegung des Atomkraftwerks Cernavodă, was zu steigenden Strompreisen und einer erhöhten Abhängigkeit von teuren Stromimporten führt, die vor allem die Industrie und ausländische Unternehmen belasten könnten. #Energiekrise #Rumänien #Strompreise
Weshalb die norwegischen Bürger von der deutschen Energiewende die Nase gestrichen voll haben, kann man diesem Chart entnehmen: Durch den Importbedarf des Strommangellands Deutschland steigen die Preise in Süd-Norwegen auf den vierfachen Preis von Nord-Norwegen. Die Industrie könnte Süd-Norwegen langfristig aufgrund zu hoher Strompreise verlassen, die aber von der deutschen Energiewende verursacht werden. Dem schiebt deshalb die norwegische Regierung verständlicherweise einen Riegel vor. Mehr hierzu in meinem Artikel: "Norwegen hat genug vom grünen Märchen der Energiewende – und zieht Deutschland buchstäblich den Stecker" https://t.co/3XVTHfOGSi Quelle der Grafik: https://t.co/Urqowx5ywn #Energiewende #Norwegen #Strompreise
Der Verbund hebt seinen Österreich-Tarif an, was aufgrund steigender Börsenpreise und eines veränderten Marktumfelds geschieht, während Bestandskunden weiterhin vom alten Preis profitieren. #Strompreise #Verbund #Österreich
“Spanien hat die ruinöse Verknüpfung zwischen Strompreisen und volatilen fossilen Brennstoffen durchbrochen – etwas, das seine europäischen Nachbarn dringend anstreben“, sagt Dr Chris Rosslowe, Senior Analyst beim Energiethinktank Ember. https://t.co/GW6puhzI4Q #Spanien #Energiepolitik #Nachhaltigkeit #ES #EU
Sogar die ZEIT nennt die richtigen Gründe für Italiens beschlossene Rückkehr zur Kernkraft: steigender Strombedarf, Klimaschutz und Versorgungssicherheit. Deutschland hat es leichter: Wir können vorhandene Kernkraftwerke wiederaufbauen und damit die Strompreise stabilisieren. https://t.co/2nVCm0E2lW #Kernkraft #Energiepolitik #Klimaschutz
