Five northern German state governments are demanding that the federal government comply with funding commitments for the energy transition

According to a report from www.ndr.de,

The five northern German state governments have called on the federal government to keep its funding commitments for the energy transition. They emphasize the importance of a bridge electricity price for energy-intensive companies and call for a connection to a national hydrogen network for Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. The Federal Constitutional Court recently banned the reallocation of Corona loans for climate protection, which calls into question the financing of numerous projects.

Compliance with funding commitments is crucial for the energy transition. A bridge electricity price for energy-intensive companies is essential to strengthen the basic industry in northern Germany. Connection to a national hydrogen network is also important to keep the region competitive. However, the Federal Constitutional Court's decision not to reallocate Corona loans to climate protection calls into question the financing of numerous projects and could affect the planned measures to accelerate the energy transition.

Implementing support measures and creating incentives for industry are crucial to driving the energy transition forward. The position paper of the northern German state governments and the decision of the Federal Constitutional Court will have an impact on the financing and implementation of projects in the energy transition. It remains to be seen how the federal government will respond and what measures will be taken to advance the energy transition despite these challenges.
