Summary
Economy Minister Katherina Reiche (CDU) has softened her plans for cuts in the promotion of new small solar plants. Since 2000, the expansion of green electricity in Germany has been promoted. In 2025, the share of wind, solar, biomass and co. in electricity generation was 58 percent, according to the energy industry.
Furthermore, It is about small solar systems up to 25 kilowatts of installed power, which will be built from 2027. Reiche had planned that from 2027, the fixed feed-in tariff for new, small solar systems will be completely abolished. Instead of 8.4 gigawatts, by 2035 at least 9.5 gigawatts of power should be installed. “This means that adequate quantities are available for existing plants, whose original 20-year EEG support expires in the coming years and who want to invest in their further flexibilization,” it said.
In addition, So far, anyone who generates solar power on their roof and feeds it into the grid receives a fixed amount per kilowatt hour for 20 years. It is planned that a “temporary transitional payment” “Small plants under 25 kilowatts of installed capacity, in particular small roof-top PV, will no longer receive permanent funding,” according to the Reich Ministry.
