Berlin,
Germany: CDU/CSU Calls for 25% Reduction in German Solar Funding
The
Conservative CDU/CSU alliance in the German Bundestag (Lower House
of Parliament) has announced that they want to see a decrease
in solar funding by 2010 of over 25 percent.
On
Monday, the Christian Democratic Union /Christian Social Union
alliance called for a decrease of solar funding by over 25 percent
over the next two years.
The
CDU/CSU announcement comes ahead of discussions on Thursday this
week, when the coalition fractions of the German Bundestag will
discuss the future level of solar funding within the scope of
the amendment of the Renewable Energy Act (EEG).
Minister
for Environment, Sigmar Gabriel and the government coalition partner,
the SPD (Social Democratic Party), also have the intention to
reduce solar feed-in tariffs, but only by 7% to 8% per year.
